Draft Proposal

Why do we need legislation?

While Wisconsin currently has fair maps, these are only in place until the 2030 Census. We need LEGISLATION to ensure FAIR VOTING MAPS for FUTURE GENERATIONS. Fair maps leaders across the state have been working on a draft proposal for an Independent Redistricting Commission, and we want YOUR INPUT!

What is an Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC)?

It is a voter-centric reform used to ensures that voters — not politicians — decide how electoral districts are drawn. The structure of IRCs varies from state to state, but IRCs are meant to make the redistricting process more transparent and impartial by establishing standards for who can serve on the commission and criteria that must be followed when drawing district maps.
