Redistricting Reform

Redistricting Reform involves changing how legislative district boundaries are drawn to promote fairness and reduce political bias. Currently, many districts are created by political parties, which can lead to gerrymandering—drawing districts to favor one party over another. Reform efforts aim to establish independent commissions or clear, objective criteria for district boundaries, ensuring districts fairly represent communities based on population and geographic considerations. This promotes more competitive elections, better representation, and reduces the influence of partisan politics in the drawing of district lines.
