The League of Women Voters of Utah invites you to join us in a drive to put an independent citizens’ Utah Redistricting Standards Commission initiative on the 2010 ballot. 
 
The independent commission would create a plan to re-draw the boundaries of Congressional, state Legislative and state School Board districts.  It would include public hearings and anti-gerrymandering standards for districts to be reasonably equal in population, compact, contiguous and respectful of city, county and geographic boundaries and communities of common interest.
 
The aim of the Commission is to increase public input and set fair standards that counterbalance the political advantage held by legislators who under the Utah Constitution decide the final district boundaries every 10 years.
