When legislative leaders manipulate district boundaries to keep themselves in office or to silence their opposition, we ALL lose.
Sign the Petition to End Gerrymandering in PA!
There is a solution—amend the PA Constitution to create an independent citizens redistricting commission!
Fair Districts PA formed in 2016 to advocate for a better redistricting process and to inform voters about the harms of gerrymandered districts. We want an independent redistricting process and accountable legislature that represents all Pennsylvanians well.
For decades this abuse of our political system put Pennsylvania on the list of most gerrymandered states in the nation. While current maps are better as a result of citizen advocacy and attention, there’s nothing in law to prevent future extreme gerrymandering.
We need to amend the PA constitution to create a better process. Under PA’s current redistricting processes, legislative leaders are choosing their voters. FDPA is advocating for an independent redistricting commission with a transparent, public process and clear, prioritized mapping standards
Citizens participate in the process and closed-door dealmaking ends
Clear standards against dividing counties and municipalities more than necessary.
Districts that truly reflect the will of the voters
Supporters of Fair Districts PA (FDPA), the League of Women Voters of PA (LWVPA), and fellow good-government advocates gathered in the Capitol Rotunda on Groundhog Day to call for an end to Pennsylvania’s cycle of legislative inaction.
