Establishes an independent redistricting process in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Fair Maps Act amends the state constitution to establish an independent process for revising electoral districts for Congress and the General Assembly. The North Carolina Citizens Redistricting Commission, composed of 15 members appointed by the General Assembly, will prepare and adopt final plans for congressional and legislative districts. The commission must hold public hearings, release proposed plans, and consider public input. The process aims to ensure equal voting power, avoid diminishing minority representation, and comply with state and federal laws.
