Support Citizens Not Politicians—Citizens Redistricting Initiative

This Senate resolution expresses support for a ballot initiative that would shift the power of drawing legislative and congressional district maps from politicians and lobbyists to a commission of ordinary Ohio citizens. The bill proposes creating an independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to oversee the redistricting process, aiming to make it more transparent and less susceptible to political manipulation. By urging voters to back this measure, the resolution seeks to increase public trust in elections and ensure that district lines better reflect the will of the people rather than serving specific political interests.
