Establishes an independent redistricting process in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Fair Maps Act amends the state constitution to establish an independent redistricting process. It creates the North Carolina Citizens Redistricting Commission, composed of 15 members appointed by the General Assembly, to revise electoral districts for Congress and the General Assembly after each decennial census. The Commission must hold public hearings, consider public input, and ensure districts comply with legal standards. If the Commission fails to adopt a plan, a special master appointed by the Commission will draw a plan.
