Redistricting, Territory Alignment, &
Boundary Revisions
Every ten years, in a
process that profoundly
impacts American
politics – the
legislative districts
are redrawn to determine
who votes where.
The Constitution
requires that a
population count, the
decennial Census, serve
as the basis for
redistricting, after
which Congressional
districts are
reapportioned among the
states and then each
state is divided into
districts of equal
population. State
legislatures and many
local governments work
the same way. Since the Voting Rights
Act of 1965, the
redrawing of state and
congressional lines must
also maximize any clear
opportunity for
minorities to elect
candidates of their
choosing.
Maptitude mapping
software is the dominant
redistricting
application
(http://www.redistricting.com.)
Maptitude enables
serious non-partisan
opposition to be mounted
to proposed districts,
while enabling
redistricting bodies to
robustly defend new
delineations. Simply
put, Maptitude for
Redistricting can be
used to support the
fully transparent and
open process that is
required to produce
boundaries worthy of a
democratic process.
You
can
leverage
Maptitude's
capabilities
for
political
campaigning,
school
redistricting,
political
redistricting,
service
area
delineation,
and
territory
creation.
Information
on
the
available Maptitude
solutions is available
here.
"It’s light years ahead.
The software can do so
much more, so much more
quickly."
