Constitutional Amendment for redistricting or gerrymandering.
“Gerrymandering is the practice of drawing or arranging the boundaries of electoral districts in a way that gives one political party or group an unfair advantage in elections”
In 2020, Virginia voted to amend the Virginia Constitution to have electoral district lines drawn by a bipartisan committee. This legislation was approved by an overwhelming majority of the voters. It passed by a margin of greater than one million votes.
In October of 2025, the General Assembly held a special session to pass another redistricting amendment. This proposed amendment allows the General Assembly, not a bipartisan committee, to redraw congressional districts at anytime they choose rather than on a decennial cycle (every 10 years).
This will allow the majority members of the General Assembly to redraw the congressional districts every 1-2 years. Members of congress are elected every two years, however, if a member’s term ends prematurely, this would allow their district to be redrawn if that is the will of the General Assembly.
This is not what the citizens of Virginia voted for in 2020 and it is hoped that this will not be supported by the voters in 2026.
If you do not support endless gerrymandering, you must vote NO on the Constitutional amendment to redraw congressional districts.
