Fair Districts PA is a grassroots, non-partisan, volunteer-run organization dedicated to fixing our broken system so that our votes count and our voices are heard.
But we can’t do this without you. Help us put redistricting power back in the hands of the people of Pennsylvania, where it belongs.
Change is needed. Right now, whichever party has control of the legislature has control of redistricting. FDPA is advocating for a fair and transparent process that includes public input.
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
Creating fair districts and mapping out a fair redistricting process will help reestablish an accountable government that represents the people of Pennsylvania — not partisan politicians or outside interests.

Reapportionment and redistricting happen every ten years and it can be confusing who does what and how it gets done. As the process starts again in 2021 we share some Q&A’s to help all of us understand the process better. This is by no means comprehensive but it is a start.
