Austin Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission

 The eight members who were selected randomly to the Austin Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC) met on Thursday, March 11th and selected the remaining six commissioners.

The spreadsheet displays the following information about the commissioners: name, district, gender identity, ethnicity, education, and age (in categories).


You can view the member's application for the commission by clicking on the member's name. There are answers to the three criteria for judging the qualifications of the member as well as additional information.

The following charts break down the commission members in terms of demographic categories and Austin city council district of residence.

All of the current Austin city council districts are represented with Districts 2, 7, 9, and 10 having two members of the commission. The commission members are diverse in ethnicity, age, and gender identity. They are extremely well educated with 10 of the 14 members having post-graduate degrees.

I urge you to follow this group as they organize, hire staff, and prepare the Austin city council's districts for the next decade.
