Community Conversation on Gerrymandering
The Medina Mavens and Akron Area Women for Democracy are proud to invite the community to a vital conversation on gerrymandering and its implications for the upcoming 2024 elections. This event will help educate residents about gerrymandering, its impact on fair representation, and the significance of upcoming ballot measures.
Gerrymandering refers to the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to favor one political party over another. In Ohio, this practice has sparked considerable debate regarding the fairness of our electoral processes. As we approach the 2024 elections, understanding these issues is essential for all voters.
During this community conversation, attendees will learn:
- What Gerrymandering Means: An overview of gerrymandering, its historical context in Ohio, and its effects on political representation.
- The Impact on Elections: Insights into how district maps can influence local and state elections and the representation of diverse communities across Ohio.
- Voting in 2024: Clarification on the upcoming ballot measures related to redistricting, including what a “yes” or “no” vote means for the future of Ohio’s electoral map.
