How to Draw a Map

You can use Districtr.org to draw your plan or your community. Districtr is free, open-source software designed just for public input in the redistricting process. When you've drawn your map, click the "Save" button and you’ll find a submission link that will take you back to this form with your mapping data pre-filled.

Maps made on other software, such as Representable or Dave’s Redistricting App, are welcome as well! Just use the “Other link” option in the submission form.
