An Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) would center everyday Minnesotans in the process of drawing our voting maps by including our voices in the drawing process from start to finish. Right now our redistricting process is supposed to get done through the legislative process. Unfortunately, our legislators haven’t been able to put us first and have instead kicked the can on drawing our maps to the courts. Our IRC reform requires an even number of Republicans, Democrats, and Independent Minnesotans, not politicians, political hacks, or special interests, working together as a commission to draw maps that work for Minnesota’s communities. The redistricting principles center people, not politicians.
