Community: The new districts should keep communities intact, honor shared interests and minimize geographic sprawl.
Transparency: The process for drawing new voting district boundaries should be open for all citizens to observe and provide input.
Equality: The new districts should reflect the “one-person, one-vote” principle by giving every person equal representative power. Specifically, it should avoid practices like packing, concentrating a constituency s voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts, and cracking, diluting the voting power of a constituency across many districts. And the resulting makeup of legislative and congressional districts should accurately reflect the racial diversity of the communities they represent.
