2012 starts now - Redistricting Commission applicants being reviewed

I can hear the groans of "What?  2010 isn't even over yet!" already...

The list of applicants for the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission is available.  The Commission on Appellate Court Appointments will screen the applicants, nominating 25 out of the 79.  Out of those 25, five will actually be appointed - 2 Ds, 2 Rs, and 1 Independent.

The press release in its entirety -
STATE SEEKS COMMENT ON APPLICANTS FOR ARIZONA REDISTRICTING COMMISSION
   
The public is being asked for comments on 79 applicants for Arizona’s Independent Redistricting Commission, which will oversee the mapping of Arizona’s congressional and legislative districts in 2011.

The Arizona constitution directs the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments to review the applications and by January 8 to nominate 25 people to serve. Four elected officials will appoint the first four members of the Redistricting Commission. The fifth member will be chosen by the four members appointed to the commission.

No more than two members of the Redistricting Commission can be members of the same political party.  Of the first four appointed, no more than two can be residents of the same county.  Among the applicants there are 31 Republicans, 31 Democrats, and 17 Independents. Applications were received from 11 of Arizona’s 15 counties.

An alphabetical list of all applicants follows. Lists are also available by political affiliation or county by calling (602) 452-3311 or at the nomination website, http://www.arizonaredistricting-nominations.com/.

The applications will be reviewed at a public meeting on November 16. The meeting will be held at the Arizona State Courts Building in Phoenix, 1501 W. Washington, Conf. Rm. 345, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Citizens may address the Appellate Commission at that time or send written comments to 1501 W. Washington, Suite 221, Phoenix, AZ 85007. Written comments must be received by November 10 to be considered.

The Appellate Commission may vote on nominations for the Redistricting Commission at the November 16 meeting or at a later meeting.
