It will still be weeks before Indiana lawmakers can gather to redraw congressional and state legislative district boundaries. That’s because of delays in getting necessary information from the U.S. Census Bureau.
But before the process starts, here are some of the basics of redistricting in the Hoosier State:
The Indiana Constitution requires the state legislature redraw state House and Senate district lines every 10 years, after the census. The requirement to draw congressional district borders is in state law. And the Constitution also says those state House and Senate districts must be contiguous – meaning a district can’t be split into pieces that don’t connect.

Indiana Senate Democrats are renewing their calls for increasing the state’s minimum wage as typically lower-wage businesses like restaurants say they can’t hire enough workers.
Democrats have tried passing measures, including a few during the legislative session this year, to gradually increase the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. In every attempt, most Republicans have blocked their efforts.
Now Democrats are echoing economists in saying that low-wage jobs – not necessarily unemployment benefits – are causing workers to stay at home.
