The state Redistricting Commission will hold a public forum in Bellingham Thursday, May 26, to gather public input on the effort to redraw legislative and congressional districts this year.

Using 2010 Census data, the commission will redraw the districts, accommodating a new one for a 10th representative in Congress.

The forum will be at Western Washington University starting at 6 p.m. in the Academic West Building, room 204. It'll begin with an open house where people can see maps and talk with map specialists. At 6:30 p.m., a presentation providing an overview of restricting will begin, and the commission shortly after will begin taking public comment.
