The Senate map will be unveiled Tuesday, revealing which state Senate districts Hoosiers will live in for the next decade.

Hoosiers brought Indiana lawmakers some specific concerns and recommendations about the proposed state House and Congressional redistricting maps Thursday.

Republicans, though, argue their aim was to create compact districts that keep communities together. And Democrats are highly concentrated in only a few counties.

The proposed Indiana House district map draws six districts that include two current Republican lawmakers.

Hoosiers have their first look at who their new state House and Congressional representatives will be. Indiana Republicans released the state House and Congressional redistricting maps Tuesday.

Indiana's redistricting is about to get officially underway. At its core, it determines which state House and Senate and Congressional district every Hoosier lives in.

Hoosiers will get their first look Tuesday at the state's political future for the next decade as state lawmakers unveil state House and Congressional district maps, the first step in redistricting.

They are slated to release on Tuesday proposed congressional and Indiana House maps drawn behind closed doors, with a timeline for final approval in about three weeks.

Indiana faith leaders say that Republican lawmakers drawing unfair legislative maps would be "sin." Gerrymandering, they argue, is "political and theological idolatry."

Advocates for redistricting reform hope the Indiana Citizens Redistricting Commission and similar efforts elsewhere can draw public attention to partisan gerrymandering and pressure the real mapmakers to temper their political inclinations.
