Redraw the map on redistricting.

Legislators have long used redistricting as an opportunity to select their constituents, rather than empowering voters to elect their representatives. The redistricting following the 2010 Census is an opportunity to change how the process is conducted. Armed with knowledge and the right tools, the public can redraw the map on redistricting.

All politics is local. How compact is your home district? How does it compare to others? Search for a Congressional, state or local legislative district using an address or legislator’s name.
