Nonpartisan Redistricting

Nonpartisan redistricting is the process of drawing electoral district boundaries without favoring any political party. Its goal is to create fair, competitive districts that accurately reflect the population’s diversity and geographic distribution. By removing partisan influence, it aims to prevent gerrymandering—manipulative boundary drawing—to ensure that elections are decided by voters rather than political advantages. This approach promotes transparency, accountability, and better representation, helping to maintain trust in the democratic process. Nonpartisan redistricting typically involves independent commissions or judges to develop equitable district maps based on clear, objective criteria.
