This week, the Secretary of State released the proposed language for the ballot proposal to create an independent redistricting commission. “Now that the Secretary of State’s office has completed the tough task of drafting a 100-word, neutral description of the ballot proposal it will head to the Board of State Canvassers,” explained Brendan Ringlever of MLC. The Board of State Canvassers is scheduled to meet on Thursday, September 6 and Friday, September 7, if needed.
The proposal seeks to take the redrawing of Congressional and State lines out of the hands of the legislature and the governor and create an independent redistricting commission who would be responsible for redrawing the lines. The commission would be comprised of 13 members, including four members who identify with the two major political parties, and five independent members.
