Sedgwick County will empanel a bipartisan committee to recommend new boundaries for commission districts, but whether the group will have time to do its work is an open question. The committee will be made up of five members appointed by the commission and 10 selected by the League of Women Voters, a watchdog group that monitors local elections and advocates for voting rights. But as presently envisioned, that committee won’t be appointed until the commission can pass a resolution on Dec. 1 to create it. From then, the group will have nine days to organize, meet and prepare a report for the commission by Dec. 10 with its recommendations on redistricting. Commissioners retained the final say over redistricting.
