  • Redistricting in Indian Country in South Dakota
    REDISTRICTING IN INDIAN COUNTRY IN SOUTH DAKOTA WHAT IS REDISTRICTING? Redistricting is the redrawing of the geographic lines that divide districts for the state legislature, county boards of commissioners, city councils, school boards, and other local bodies. It is required by the U.S. Constitution. Redistricting usually takes place every ten years, after the United States conducts the decennial census to determine how many people live in each state. This guide is focused on redistricting in South Dakota, including the South Dakota Senate and South Dakota House of Representatives. Information on county-level redistricting in South Dakota will be available at https://vote.narf.org/redistricting/. By redrawing district lines every ten years, redistricting takes into account where populations have increased or decreased. The main goal of redistricting is to ensure that all districts have approximately the same number of people. This protects the constitutional right to have a vote that is equal to any other person’s vote. It is crucial that Native Americans have an equal voice in redistricting to protect their ability to elect candidates of their choice. How can your Native community participate in this process? How can you ensure that your community’s political power is protected? This guide explains the redistricting process and how we all can participate. WHY IS REDISTRICTING IMPORTANT? Redistricting matters because it controls access to political representation. It influences who runs for office and who is elected. Elected representatives make many decisions that influence our daily lives, from acknowledging tribal sovereignty to honoring treaties to protecting the land. Residents of a district should be able to hold their representative accountable and be sure that their representative is truly representing the interests of the people.
