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
