Redistricting Committees are groups formed to redraw the boundaries of electoral districts. This process typically occurs every ten years after the census, ensuring that districts reflect population changes. The goal is to create fair and equal representation for voters in legislative bodies, such as the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislatures. These committees can be composed of politicians, citizens, or independent members, depending on the state’s laws. Their work is crucial because poorly drawn districts can lead to issues like gerrymandering, where boundaries are manipulated to favor one political party over another, undermining the democratic process.
