Ending Gerrymandering in Indiana
Common Cause Indiana is leading the fight for fair redistricting in Indiana. We support legislation to create a people's redistricting commission in Indiana and establish nonpartisan redistricting standards.
Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering
Politicians should not be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves. We need to create a fair system so that voters choose their politicians, not the other way around.
Every ten years, states redraw their electoral districts to reflect population changes. This process should be about making sure that everyone has a voice in our government, but in some states, it has become a partisan tool to undermine our democracy.
Drawing unfair maps — a process known as gerrymandering — denies communities the representation and resources they deserve. Our work to end gerrymandering includes efforts in the courts, on the ballot, and in the legislature to ensure a just and independent process.

TELL SPEAKER HUSTON AND PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE BRAY TO SAY NO TO MID-CYCLE REDISTRICTING
Vice President J.D. Vance is attempting to silence Hoosier voters by convincing Speaker of the House Todd Huston and President Tempore Rodric Bray to hold a special session to redraw our voting maps! Tell Huston and Bray to not waste taxpayer money on a partisan power grab! Let them know that Hoosiers do not want or need new Congressional districts nor do we want to pay for a special session when too many Hoosiers are struggling to pay for groceries, health care, and other necessities.
Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.
