Redistricting -- Congressional map sent for preclearance

On Thursday, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission submitted its Congressional map to the US Department of Justice for preclearance pursuant to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.

DOJ now has 60 days in which to approve the application for preclearance, deny the request or ask for additional information.

The AIRC expects to submit the legislative map within days.
