HB 2571 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act providing for the establishment, conduct and composition of the Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission, for adoption of congressional district maps, for prioritized redistricting criteria, for failure to adopt final congressional district map and for judicial review.

This Pennsylvania bill establishes an Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission to draw the state's congressional district maps, directly affecting voters by changing how their representatives are selected. The commission would consist of 15 members: five from the largest political party, five from the second-largest party, and five unaffiliated individuals, with a focus on reflecting the state's geographic and demographic diversity. The process includes a public application period, transparent meetings for community input, and the use of specific criteria to guide map drawing, with judicial review available if the commission fails to produce a final map.
