Redistricting of State Legislative and Congressional Districts

Washington Ballot Measure - SJR 8210

Election: Nov. 8, 2016 (General)

Outcome: Passed

Categories:

Constitution

Summary


The amendment would require the state redistricting commission to approve a redistricting plan for state legislative and congressional districts by November 15 of each year ending in a one. This would, in effect, shorten the time for the commission to complete a redistricting plan by 46 days (for example, the commission would need to approve the next redistricting plan by November 15, 2021, rather than the current deadline of January 1, 2022). All other deadlines for redistricting would remain the same.
