Proposing amendments to article 10 of the constitution of the state of Kansas to establish requirements for reapportioning congressional, state senatorial, state representative and board of education districts and prohibit the reapportionment thereof except when required by the constitution of the state of Kansas or when ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

This bill proposes adding new rules to the Kansas Constitution that would guide how the state draws boundaries for congressional, state legislative, and school board districts. The key requirements mandate that districts be as equal in population as possible, with state districts allowed a deviation of no more than 5% from the ideal population, while also prioritizing compact shapes, preserving existing communities, and avoiding the dilution of minority voting strength. Additionally, the bill restricts when these maps can be redrawn, prohibiting the legislature from doing so unless required by the state constitution or ordered by a court. If voters approve this measure in the 2026 election, it will legally bind future lawmakers to follow these specific guidelines when creating electoral maps.
