Amendment 86: Congressional Redistricting
Source: results.enr.clarityelections.com
What does this measure do?
Colorado's independent commission would keep drawing U.S. House districts, and a finished map could not change between censuses without three public meetings and approval by the commission and the state Supreme Court. This keeps the legislature from redrawing districts mid-decade, at no cost to you.
Proposed by: Citizen initiative by Advance Colorado (Initiative 256; Suzanne Taheri and Elizabeth Caven)
Advance Colorado is a conservative group led by Michael Fields; Taheri is a former deputy secretary of state. They want to block redrawing U.S. House maps between censuses.

A YES vote means
The current commission process is locked into the constitution, and a finished congressional map can only change with public meetings and approval from the commission and the state Supreme Court.
A NO vote means
The commission keeps drawing maps under current rules, which do not spell out these extra limits on mid-decade map changes.
