Constitutional Amendment establishing a Bipartisan Redistricting Commission

SF 824 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a Bipartisan Redistricting Commission that would redraw Minnesota's congressional and legislative district boundaries after each federal census. The commission would consist of eight members appointed equally by party leaders in both the House and Senate, requiring six votes (including at least one from each appointing group) to approve a plan. This would replace the current process where the legislature draws district lines, aiming to reduce partisan influence in redistricting. If approved by voters in 2026, the commission would first act after the 2030 census to set boundaries for the 2032 elections.
