Chuck McIhinney, R-Bucks, announced they would hold a series of joint statewide hearings to receive testimony and collect public input on congressional redistricting.
Redistricting is a state legislative process that takes place every 10 years and redraws the boundaries of congressional and legislative districts to meet the constitutional requirement of one person, one vote.
In Pennsylvania, congressional redistricting is passed by the General Assembly and then approved by the governor.
