Every 10 years, the United States completely erases current voting district borders, and creates new ones using census data that has tracked demographic changes over the past ten years.

How these districts are drawn is incredibly important, and in many states, is used as a tool of disenfranchisement, racism, and reinforcing voter disparities. Ensuring a fair voter redistricting process is one of the most important ways to ensure equity, transparency and accountability in our democratic institutions. This process is currently underway, and voting commissions are being formed to explore the best way to redraw these districts.
