Draft District Maps

The maps presented here were adopted as draft district maps by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission in August 2001. The draft maps incorporated modifications to the initial grids to accommodate many of Proposition 106's redistricting goals such as respect for "Communities of Interest". The maps were available for public comment for at least thirty days.

Initial Grids

The Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission adopted the Equal Population Grids for the Congressional and Legislative Districts on June 7, 2001. The grid was required by Proposition 106 as the initial starting point for districts and was based on Arizona's Township, Range, and Section Public Land Survey System.
