Redistricting in Arizona
The following timeline is a high-level overview outlining major redistricting events and activity in the state of Arizona over the last 10 years.
Census data delivered to Arizona.
The bipartisan Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (AIRC) submitted congressional and state legislative maps to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for approval, yielding results that reflect the will of the voters.
The Arizona State Legislature, controlled by Republicans, sued the AIRC, arguing the commission cannot take congressional map-drawing power away from the state legislature.
After three years of litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the AIRC's role in drawing Arizona's maps.
An attempt by Arizona Republicans to make the AIRC more partisan failed in the state Senate.
The redistricting process is controlled by different elected officials in each state. Knowing who they are and when to vote for them is the key to creating a fairer redistricting process.
1 Know the Decision Makers
Redistricting in Arizona is controlled by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, which comprises five nonpartisan members. The commission is often revered as a gold standard for the nation.

The Fight for Fair Maps is Now
If we're going to secure fair maps for the next decade, Democrats need to win critical battles before 2021 redistricting.
We're on the right path. In the past few years the NDRC has helped fair map Democrats make big gains -- winning nine governors races, flipping eight state legislative chambers, and winning three state Supreme Court races.
But to keep winning in 2020 and ensure fair maps for a decade to come, we need to double down on our efforts now. Will you pitch in to help us fund our multi-pronged strategy to end Republican gerrymandering and demand fair elections? That's why the NDRC is fighting back to even the playing field and make sure every voter is heard. Join us today:
