The Census of 2010 has been released. It reveals demographic change throughout New York State. Pursuant to the United States Constitution and the New York State Constitution, congressional and state legislative districts must be reconfigured to reflect the population changes that have occurred.

The new congressional and state legislative districts must be consistent with the "one person, one vote" decisions of the United States Supreme Court. In addition, the new congressional and state legislative districts must be constructed in conformity with the Voting Rights Act. The Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment wants to know how the public thinks the new congressional and state legislative districts should be configured.

Persons wishing to present pertinent testimony to the Task Force at the above hearings should contact Dina Weissman of the Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research & Reapportionment at (212) 618-1101.

Ten (10) copies of any prepared testimony should be submitted at the hearing registration desk.

Prospect Heights is represented in Albany within the 57th and 52nd Assembly districts, and the 20th and 25th State Senate districts. The proposed new boundaries of these districts are available through the links below.
