Testify at Public Hearings

Sign the Open Maps Petition

Call or write your elected representatives before committee hearings begin to request transparent, written criteria for district lines.

Sign up to speak at county commission rooms or state committee sessions. Describe how proposed splits affect your local community.

Add your name to the statewide record demanding that all map adjustments be published online for public review before votes.

Preparation

How to give clear testimony at a hearing

State your name and where you live clearly for the official record. Keep your remarks focused on your everyday community boundaries, such as shared schools, commercial districts, and county services that should remain together.

You do not need legal expertise or technical mapping software. Committees rely on local residents to explain the real-world impact of split neighborhoods.
