DES MOINES, Iowa Though the delay of U.S. census data has pushed back Iowa s redistricting process, both parties of the Iowa Legislature have now appointed four members to the temporary redistricting advisory commission.
The Iowa Legislative Services Agency, a non-partisan agency, is tasked with drawing maps for the Iowa congressional and legislative districts once they receive the census data, which they are expecting in September.
It is typically available in February.
Ed Cook, senior legal counsel at the agency, says they only factor in population and not party, and their process in drawing district lines is purely non-partisan.
