Fair Map leaders have created proposed legislation to create an Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC).  An IRC “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.”  These advocates are taking the proposal to YOU and want YOUR INPUT!
