Indiana’s new congressional and legislative districts probably won’t be drawn until this fall.
The Census Bureau announced last month it doesn’t expect to deliver population data until September 30.
That’s more than six months late, and just three months before the January 5 start of candidate filing begins for next year’s election.
It’s also long after the legislature adjourns for the year, with the task of drawing new maps still unfinished.
House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) and Senate President Pro Tem Rod Bray (R-Martinsville) say they’re exploring different options for bringing legislators back.
Bray says the most obvious option is for Governor Holcomb to call a special session.
