Gov. Eric J. Holcomb signed House Bill 1581 confirming the new state legislative and congressional redistricting maps.

Republicans argued they followed state and federal law, while Democrats say there was little transparency and very few competitive districts drawn.

“Today I signed HB 1581, completing this once-in-a-decade constitutionally required process. I want to thank both the House and Senate for faithfully following through in an orderly and transparent way,” Gov. Holcomb said. “And, a special thanks to every Hoosier who participated in the process by sharing their local perspective and input.”
