Michigan - State of Michigan
Program Title
MICRC Public Comment Portal
Program Summary
The Michigan Department of State (MDOS) created a public comment portal tool for the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. The new platform allowed members of the public to easily submit written public comments, district maps and communities of interest directly to the Commission for their review. This transparent public comment application created a categorized, searchable receptacle of public comments, accessible by both members of the public and by redistricting commissioners. The innovative tool generated public trust in the process and allowed every Michigander the opportunity to have their voice heard in this historic redistricting cycle.
