The Illinois Fair Map Amendment

Redistricting Reform that Restores Democracy to Illinois

For the last three decades, legislators have created their own districts after drawing a name out of a hat!

Illinois is the ONLY state in the nation that allows this magic trick to determine such an important issue.

We need your help to change this process and take it from the legislators and put it in the hands of an independent commission in order to make redistricting more transparent, fair, and accessible to the public.

In order to do this, we need to collect 500,000 signatures in Illinois by April 1, 2010!
 

Why Sign the Petition?

If you could do just ONE thing to help end corruption in Illinois, this is it!

For the last three decades, Illinois legislators have created districts that ensure their re-election by drawing their own maps behind closed doors.

The result is that 98% of elections for the Illinois legislature are won by the incumbent.

The legislature could change this process – but they haven’t – and they won’t.

It’s up to us, the people.

A fair map is the first step in taking Illinois back from the politicians.

If you’re not happy with Illinois government, sign the petition.
