NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS (USA) - Caliper is excited that Maptitude for Redistricting is the software of choice for the California Redistricting Panel.
Members of the California Citizen’s
Redistricting Commission went to Washington, D.C. in July, 2017 to
accept the prestigious Roy and Lila Ash Innovations Award for Public
Engagement in Government. The panel, which used Maptitude for
Redistricting to draw their 2012 Congressional and State Legislative
boundaries, have been recognized for effectively eliminating
gerrymandering.
California citizens recognized the problems associated with gerrymandering in 2008 when they passed Proposition 11, which moved redistricting from the legislature in favor of a plans drawn by a citizen panel.
