WHAT IS redistricting?
Redistricting is the process of redrawing the lines of districts that determine who represents us in government. It typically takes place after the census and affects all jurisdictions that use districts, including state legislatures, county commissions, city councils, and school boards. The lines may be redrawn to account for population shifts, but they can also be redrawn at other times for other reasons – and in a few states, for no reason at all. Redrawing the lines can have a substantial impact on how different communities are grouped together and on communities’ access to resources and services.
WHAT IS Fair districting?
Fair Districting is an approach to navigating redistricting that’s guided by transparency, bipartisanship, and public input. The resulting maps have fair districts that reflect the will of voters, allow for competitive races, and fairly represent communities of color.
