Redistricting in your state:

In Nebraska, state legislative and congressional districts are drawn by the Legislature by ordinary statute, and are subject to the Governor's veto.

In addition to the federal requirements of one person, one vote and the Voting Rights Act, Nebraska’s state constitution requires that state legislative and congressional districts: 

• be compact
• be contiguous
• avoid county splits 

In the last redistricting cycle, the Redistricting Committee adopted a legislative resolution with additional guidelines requiring that districts: 

• preserve the cores of prior districts
• do not use partisan data
• do not intentionally favor or disfavor a party, group, or person.

In the redistricting process, your state doesn't yet require consideration of communities of interest (COIs), but citizens can still present their own COIs to the state Legislature to advocate for fair representation. A community of interest is a population that shares cultural, historical, demographic, or economic interests. Communities of interest do not necessarily share the same political viewpoints or support for certain candidates or political parties.
