(Bismarck, ND) -- New legislative redistricting maps are headed to North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum's desk for signature.
The Legislature passed the bill containing the new district boundaries Wednesday after extensive debate. The Legislature will contain subdistricts for the first time in state history, with two north-central districts split in half. In those districts, one half will select a member for the House and the other half will select the other.
The splits were made as a way to give tribal nations a better chance at electing one of their community members.
