Members of the state Assembly and Senate on Monday overwhelmingly rejected competing redistricting maps presented by the New York State Independent Commission, asking the panel to submit a new proposal.

The commission is expected to make changes to the maps in the next two weeks.

The redistricting process takes place every 10 years, redrawing congressional, state Senate and Assembly districts based on population changes reflected in the census. 

Last week, the bipartisan commission sent two sets of maps to the legislature after the five Democrats and five Republicans were unable to reach a compromise. 

The commission’s proposals are nonbinding. If the next round of maps is not approved by a two-thirds majority in both chambers or the plan is vetoed by the governor, the legislature will end up drawing maps of its own. 

Democrats enjoy supermajorities in both chambers of the legislature.

Based on whatever new district boundaries are finally approved, candidates for office this year are expected to start the petitioning process in early March.
