64% of Illinois voters support independent redistricting

[The following is a paid advertisement.]

Nearly 600,000 Illinoisans signed a petition to put redistricting reform on the 2016 ballot. The Independent Map Amendment will reform the rules and require a process of drawing maps that is transparent, impartial and fair. Illinois elections should reflect the will of the people, not the politicians.

The 2016 redistricting reform effort builds upon the previous attempts in 2010 and 2014. Our organization worked with reform groups, civic organizations, community leaders, and others to draft an amendment that adheres to the requirements of the Illinois Constitution while creating a new system for redistricting that is independent and protects the rights of minority communities.
That’s why the Independent Map Amendment is supported by a broad coalition that includes the Latino Policy Forum, Better Government Association, Common Cause Illinois, NAACP Chicago Southside Branch, Illinois Chamber of Commerce, League of Women Voters, Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, AARP Illinois, the Illinois Farm Bureau and many others.
