Madison, Wis. — Thursday, the People’s Maps Commission released nine preliminary maps as part of a virtual informational hearing. The hearing was livestreamed and recorded on the Wisconsin Department of Administration YouTube channel and livestreamed by WisconsinEye.

“The draft maps we release today are more than a year in the making,” said PMC Chair Christopher Ford. “I am proud of the work we’ve done to ensure a transparent, collaborative, and nonpartisan effort to provide Wisconsin voters with impartial maps that reflect the reality of the communities where they live, work, and vote.”

Over the course of the last year, the nine PMC commissioners representing Wisconsin’s eight congressional districts, have hosted multiple public hearings to ensure Wisconsinites were an integral part of the map drawing process.

The preliminary maps developed by the Commission are available below and can be downloaded in other formats.
