ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) 鈥� Gov. Larry Hogan has announced a commission to draw legislative and congressional maps for the 2022 elections.
The governor has repeatedly made redistricting reform a priority of his tenure, though legislation to create an independent panel has stalled.
The Republican has created the Maryland Citizens Redistricting Commission by executive order.
The commission will have nine members, including three Democrats, three Republicans and three unaffiliated with either party.
Hogan named three members, and the other six will be selected from applications submitted by citizens.
Maryland鈥檚 congressional map has repeatedly been criticized and challenged in court for being unfairly drawn to benefit Democrats.
