The Commission conducts public hearings and consults with the Advisory Council of each basic island unit during the preparation of the reapportionment plan. Within one hundred (100) days from the date all members of the commission are certified, the proposed reapportionment plan must be completed, and public notice will be given statewide. After publication of the reapportionment plan, the Commission must hold at least one (1) public hearing on the proposed plan in each basic island unit. After the public hearings, the Commission may revise the proposed plan, if necessary.

Due to COVID-19, on February 12, 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau announced a delay in the delivery of the 2020 redistricting data that would be necessary for the Commission to meet these deadlines. As a result, on July 7, 2021, the Hawaii State Supreme Court granted the State of Hawaii’s petition to extend these deadlines. The Commission is required to: “(1) issue a public notice of the Commission’s proposed legislative and congressional reapportionment plans no later than January 8, 2022; and (2) file its final legislative and congressional reapportionment plans with the Chief Election Officer no later than February 27, 2022.” View the Hawaii State Supreme Court’s Order here

NOTICE OF THE 2021 REAPPORTIONMENT COMMISSION’S PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE AND CONGRESSIONAL REAPPORTIONMENT PLANS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS RELATED THERETO

Pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes §§ 25-2 and 1-28.5, the 2021 Reapportionment Commission hereby gives notice that it will be conducting a series of public hearings to afford interested persons an opportunity to submit views, arguments, or data, orally or in writing, related to the proposed reapportionment plans for the Hawaii State Legislature (“Proposed Legislative Plan”) and Hawaii’s two United States Congressional districts (“Proposed Congressional Plan”).

The Proposed Legislative Plan reflects the allocation of the total number of members of each house of the State Legislature “among the four basic island units, namely: (1) the island of Hawaii, (2) the islands of Maui, Lanai, Molokai, and Kahoolawe, (3) the island of Oahu and all other islands not specifically enumerated, and (4) the islands of Kauai and Niihau, using the total number of permanent residents in each basic island units and computed by the method known as the method of equal proportions: except that no basic island unit shall receive less than one member in each house.” Haw. Const. art. IV, § 4. The Proposed Legislative Plan also reflects the apportionment of single-member districts within each basic island unit and redistricting guided by constitutional criteria. Haw. Const. art. IV, § 6. District lines were drawn to minimize population deviations between districts, preserve traditional communities, avoid canoe districts spanning multiple basic island units, and minimize the disruption to existing districts.

The Proposed Congressional Plan reflects the apportionment of two members among single-member districts so that the average number of persons in the total population counted in the 2020 United States Census per member in each district is as nearly equal as practicable. Haw. Const. art. IV, § 9; Haw. Rev. Stat. § 25-2.

The online location to view the reapportionment plans is elections.hawaii.gov.
