Redistricting commissions

Redistricting commissions are independent bodies established to redraw electoral district boundaries fairly after each census. Their goal is to create district maps that accurately represent communities and prevent gerrymandering—manipulative boundary drawing for political advantage. These commissions aim for transparency and impartiality, often including members from different political parties or backgrounds. By taking the process out of partisan control, they help ensure elections reflect voters' true preferences and promote fair representation in legislatures.
