Lawmakers propose bill to create fair redistricting commission
(WHTM) — A bipartisan legislation aims to change the way the state's district maps are drawn. The State Capitol Rotunda steps were filled with people holding signs demanding fair maps today. The legislation is trying to make the redistricting process more fair before it happens again in 2031. That number is emphasized in House Bill 31 and Senate Bill 131. The two pieces of legislation are cross-filed to create an independent citizens redistricting commission. That would take the process from the politicians and give it to the people.

Tim Kearney (D-Delaware County). 'No one knows who will have the final say in determining Pennsylvanians voting districts from 2031 and beyond if this reform is not enacted soon,' said Carole Kuniholm, the Chair of Fair Districts PA. The commission would be made up of 4 Republicans, 4 Democrats, and 3 non-party affiliated members. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
