Who Are We?

The Fair Districts = Fair Elections Coalition seeks to reform the way Ohio's Congressional Districts are drawn with the goal of prohibiting, or at least reducing, partisan gerrymandering. Additionally, the Coalition seeks to increase fairness and accountability in the Congressional map-making process. In November 2015, voters overwhelmingly passed State Issue 1, which was proposed by the legislature. This bipartisan redistricting proposal created a more fair and transparent process for drawing state legislative districts - but it did not include Congressional districts. The Ohio General Assembly has failed to act and so now the Fair Districts = Fair Elections Coalition is taking congressional redistricting reform directly to the voters.  We are collecting signatures to put congressional redistricting reform on the ballot. We believe Ohioans deserve fair districts for all of our elected legislators, state and U.S. Congress.
