This morning a Marquette-Area Town Hall Meeting was held.

The event was sponsored by the "Voters Not Politicians" Ballot Committee, in conjunction with "Count MI Vote."

The group is proposing amending the constitution, so that a panel of Michigan citizens will decide the boundary lines for both congressional and state legislative districts.

Even if the people in a certain neighborhood are fifty-fifty, they can draw those district so that the results is more like seventy percent going to go a certain direction.

The ballot committee must collect more than 315,000 valid signatures within six months to qualify for a November 2018 referendum.

Saturday's event is one of more than a dozen set throughout the state.
