## Summary

**Nonpartisan independent redistricting commissions** would be required to draw congressional districts starting with the maps tied to the 2020 census. The bill would also tie federal election-administration funding to states' use of such commissions for state legislative redistricting. - States: To receive any federal funds for election administration a state would have to certify to the Election Assistance Commission that it conducts state legislative redistricting, beginning with the first redistricting after enactment, using a nonpartisan independent commission. - Voters and representation: Congressional redistricting would be handled under commission plans starting with the 2020 decennial census. A qualifying commission would have equal numbers of members affiliated with the largest and second-largest registered-voter parties and none of its members could be an elected public official.
