Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature Redistricting
Update – Continuing the process the of Redistricting pursuant to Article V, Section 4 of the Ho-Chunk Nation Constitution, the Legislature selected a final proposal consisting of three (3) new district scenarios. This was done by Legislative Resolution 7/31/24A, which selected Redistricting Scenario #14, #17, and #24 to submit to the Ho-Chunk Nation Election Board in order to call for a Special Election.
The Election Board recently scheduled a Special Election for Redistricting and Reapportionment for October 18, 2024. The Legislature encourages eligible voters of the Nation to review the different proposals and vote for your choice on October 18, 2024. Please see the details for the Special Election on the Notice and Rules posted by the Election Board.
Remember, redistricting is the way the Nation changes the districts that decide who will represent tribal members in the Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature. Every elected Representative of the Nation’s Legislature is elected from districts. These districts divide areas and tribal members that live there into different geographic areas. Tribal member eligible voters have a choice between the three district scenarios, all of which will pursue the standard of one-person/one-vote representation under Article V, Section 4 of the Nation’s Constitution.
