New 2022 Glen Ellyn State Legislative Districts

• Most of GE is in House District 42 and Senate District 21 (blue).

• Small section North of Geneva Rd in House 47 and Senate 24 (purple).

• A very small portion of GE North of the Great Western Trail is in House 46 and Senate 23 (green).

Illinois completed its redistricting process per federal law after each decennial census and created all new congressional districts. Due to population shifts, Illinois has lost one congressional seat. Scroll down to bottom of page for League position on the redistricting process.

Each district is represented by one Member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Starting with the June 28, 2022 primary election Glen Ellyn will be divided among three different congressional districts. See the color-coded map below to confirm your new district. (Note: It is currently marked “Draft 4” but it is the final redistricting, approved by Gov. Pritzker.)

• "Illinois 6th District" -The south half of Glen Ellyn (Shown in Green)

• "Illinois 8th District” Small portion of Glen Ellyn (Shown in Sage Green) (Corner of Geneva Road/Derby Glen subdivision)

“The League of Women Voters of Illinois has worked for reforms to the state redistricting process since the 1990s. Our recent efforts have focused on an amendment to the Illinois constitution to provide for a more transparent map drawing process and community input through an independent commission.

There are standards upon which a redistricting plan should be based. Plans should require equal population, geographic contiguity, and effective representation of racial and linguistic minorities. They should also provide for promotion of partisan fairness and respect for boundaries of municipalities and counties. Compactness and competitiveness may also be considered. Preferential treatment for a political party should be rejected.

The Congressional Maps as proposed on Oct. 23, 2021 do add a Latino influence district but they do not meet many of the standards that a redistricting plan should have.

According to the Princeton Gerrymandering Project report card the map gets an F for partisan advantage. There are zero competitive districts. The map has a 14-3 advantage in the Democrats favor. A fairer split in Illinois according to actual voting patterns would be 10-7 or 11-6 in favor of Democrats.

The Congressional Districts as composed are not compact. The proposed 17th Congressional District is particularly offensive. It hovers the western edge of Illinois with fingers into Rockford, Peoria, and Bloomington. There are still 32 counties that are split.

Illinois should have a fairer more open and accountable redistricting process. Illinois must adopt a redistricting process that is more accessible, equitable, and transparent and accountable to the people. Responsibility for redistricting should be vested in an independent special commission.

Thank you for the opportunity for the League of Women Voters of IL to express its views on the process of redistricting in Illinois.”
