Call on our legislators to abide by the Indiana Constitution
Our Indiana Constitution states that all power is inherent in the people (Article 1) and that All elections shall be free and equal (Article 2). Hoosiers expect our legislators to serve their constituents, to be fair, and to abide by rules. Political gamesmanship erodes public trust in our democracy.
Because advocates can't take redistricting reform directly to the voters via a ballot initiative, this petition asks our duly elected Indiana legislators to ensure that our elections are free and equal by not redistricting before 2031.
The All IN for Democracy coalition supports redistricting processes and enforceable standards that promote fair and eIective representation at all levels of government with maximum opportunity for public participation. Our maps should reflect communities, not political calculations. See https://www.allinfordemocracy.org/solution for our full policy recommendation.
Our position is compatible with the Indiana constitutional requirement in Article 4, Section 5, that The General Assembly elected during the year in which a federal decennial census is taken shall fix by law the number of Senators and Representatives and apportion them amongdistricts according to the number of inhabitants in each district, as revealed by that federal decennial census. The territory in each district shall be contiguous.
We call on our Indiana legislators to abide by the Indiana Constitution and oppose any attempt to draw new Congressional or legislative maps before the next regular round of redistricting in 2031.
