Introduced by Mary Harrison
This bill would establish an independent redistricting process for North Carolina legislative and congressional districts by creating a 15-member Citizens Redistricting Commission. The commission would be composed of diverse citizens (not politicians) and would draw new district maps after each census, rather than allowing the General Assembly to control redistricting. The bill requires voter approval of constitutional amendments in November 2026 before the commission could begin work in 2027.
