When legislative leaders manipulate district boundaries to keep themselves in office or to silence their opposition, we ALL lose.
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
This weekend, the PA legislature returned to Harrisburg to pass the 2026-2027 budget, 12 days after the required deadline. Then they recessed for the remainder of the summer. House and Senate are not scheduled to return until September 28.
Pennsylvania voters still want an Independent Redistricting
