Public Hearings On Redistricting Standards

(Salt Lake City, Utah) – July 1, 2009 – Fair Boundaries coalition will host public hearings to
present their initiative, “Utah Redistricting Standards Commission,” and receive input from
citizens. Fair Boundaries believes that elected officials should not draw their own election
districts and effectively choose their own voters. An independent commission, without these
obvious conflicts of interest, should draw the maps to present to the legislature with guidelines that keep more of Utah’s local communities intact. Voters deserve accountability from leaders who represent their common interests.
