Redistricting Plan

This map aims to maximize compactness while minimizing county and community of interest splits. This map splits three counties (the same number as in the 2012 map). The majority-minority Wyandotte County, designated a community of interest by the Kansas Supreme Court (Essex v. Kobach, 874 F. Supp. 2d 1069, 1086 (D. Kan. 2012)), remains intact in the Third District, in contrast to the 2022 plan approved by the Kansas State Legislature that is currently with Governor Kelly for signature or veto. The minimal county splits within McPherson, Lyon, and Johnson Counties occur along state highways and attempt to preserve cities and towns to the greatest degree possible.
