Lawmakers given more time to redraw Oregon political lines SARA CLINE, Associated Press/Report for America April 9, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the Legislature will have until Sept. 27 to complete the redistricting process, giving lawmakers more time to draw political boundaries following a delay in crucial census data. The unanimous decision by the justices will give legislative leaders nearly three extra months to do their work. “The Supreme Court has done its job. Now it’s time for the Legislature to do its constitutional duty: to redraw the district boundaries for the State of Oregon in a way that’s fair and accurate. We have full faith in the legislative redistricting committees to lead this work,” Senate President Peter Courtney and House Speaker Tina Kotek said in a joint statement Friday.
