New Jersey Apportionment Commission

The commission is convened after each decennial U.S. Census, and the districts are to be in use for the legislative elections in the following ten years.

The commission's members are appointed by the two most successful political parties in the previous gubernatorial election.

If the commission cannot agree to an districting plan in a timely manner, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey is to appoint an eleventh member as a tie-breaking vote.

If the ten-member commission is unable to produce a new legislative map by that deadline, the Chief Justice is to appoint an eleventh member.

The five Democratic members are Assemblyman and State Democratic Chairman John Wisniewski (serving as Co-Chair), former Assemblywoman Nilsa Cruz-Perez (serving as Vice Co-Chair), Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Cryan, Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver and State Senator Paul Sarlo.

Alan Rosenthal, a professor of public policy at Rutgers University, was named the 11th member of the committee.
