CLEAN Elections Act

The CLEAN Elections Act proposes a significant change to how voting districts are drawn across the United States. If enacted, the bill would require every state to use a nonpartisan independent redistricting commission to create congressional district maps. This move aims to remove the map-drawing process from the hands of state legislatures, potentially reducing the influence of political parties in determining the boundaries of their own districts.

Additionally, the bill would impact how states manage their own local legislative districts. It proposes that states would lose access to federal election administration funds unless they certify that their state-level districts are also drawn by independent commissions. By linking federal funding to these requirements, the bill seeks to encourage a uniform standard of nonpartisan redistricting for both federal and state-level representation.
