(Radio Iowa) – The big reveal happens later this (Thursday) morning at the Iowa Capitol, as the plan for redrawing congressional and legislative district boundaries gets delivered to lawmakers and released to the public.  Reapportionment happens every 10 years, to adjust for changes in Iowa’s population, so some incumbent legislators may be thrown into the same House or Senate district with another incumbent as boundaries change.

At 10 a.m., the Legislative Services Agency will deliver paper copies of what’s called Plan 1 to the House and Senate. The maps will be posted on the legislature’s website shortly after that.
