Why This Matters
Fair representation is not a partisan issue. It is a constitutional principle. Whether you live in Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, the Shenandoah Valley, or Southwest Virginia, your vote should carry equal weight and your community should not be divided for political gain.
Every election in Virginia should reflect the will of the people.
District lines determine how communities are represented in Richmond and in the U.S. Congress.
When lines are manipulated for political advantage, voters lose power and officials gain it.
Virginia voters deserve transparent, fair, and constitutional district maps that reflect real communities, not political strategies.
What Is Gerrymandering
Gerrymandering happens when voting district boundaries are drawn in a way that gives unfair advantage to a political party, group, or incumbent. Instead of voters choosing their representatives, representatives effectively choose their voters.
Communities are split apart to weaken their voting power.
Unrelated areas are grouped together to create predictable outcomes.
Districts are drawn to protect incumbents rather than represent citizens.
The result is the same regardless of which party is responsible. Elections become less competitive, voter voices are diluted, and public trust in the system declines.
Constitutional Principles
Take Action NowThe Constitution and the foundational principles of representative government are built on equal protection and fair representation. District maps should never be engineered to predetermine outcomes or favor one group of voters over another.
Equal representation under the law.
Transparent and accountable government.
Competitive and meaningful elections.
Public trust in democratic institutions.
Regardless of political affiliation, most Virginians agree on a simple standard: voters should choose their elected officials, not the other way around.

These decisions will affect representation at every level of government and will influence how fairly communities across the Commonwealth are represented. This is not about political parties. It is about protecting the integrity of the process and ensuring that district maps serve the public, not political interests.
Understanding how redistricting works and how it affects your vote is the first step toward protecting fair representation. Sharing this information and then voting NO is the next step.
United by the Vote, Not Divided by the Map.
From rural counties to growing cities, Virginians share a common interest in fair elections and accountable leadership. Fair maps help ensure that every region, every community, and every voter has a meaningful voice.
When voters lead, Virginia wins.
When maps are fair, representation is fair.
When we stand together, every vote counts.
