Districting Commission

A Districting Commission is an independent group responsible for drawing the boundaries of electoral districts, such as for state legislative or congressional elections. Their goal is to create district maps that fairly represent communities, ensuring each district has roughly equal populations while respecting geographic and community boundaries. This process helps prevent gerrymandering, where district lines are manipulated for political advantage. The commission often includes diverse members and operates transparently to promote fairness and public trust in electoral representation.
