Washington State Redistricting Commission

The Washington State Redistricting Commission is a decennial body charged with redrawing congressional and legislative districts in the state of Washington after each census. On November 8, 1983, Washington state passed the 74th amendment to its constitution via Senate Joint Resolution 103 to permanently establish the Redistricting Commission.[1] Earlier that year the first commission redrew the state's congressional map after the previous one drawn by the legislature was ruled unconstitutional.[2] Since after the 1990 census, a committee of four appointees of the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate appoint a fifth member as non-voting chair, and meet to redistributes representative seats according to census results.[3]

History

  • 1956: League of Women Voters proposed Initiative 199 passed, linking redistribution to population trends. However, the resulting redistricting map was altered by the legislature.[4]
  • 1982: Senate Joint Resolution placed Constitutional Amendment 74 on the ballot.[5]
  • 1983: Amendment 74 passed; 61% in favor, 39% in opposition.[6]
  • 1991: The first Redistricting Commission met and created a redistricting plan, including new 9th congressional district.
  • 2001: The second Redistricting Commission met and created a redistricting plan. Due to disagreements during redistricting, they could not meet their statutory deadline; however, they passed a plan before their constitutional deadline.[7]
  • 2011: The third Redistricting Commission met and created a redistricting plan, including new 10th congressional district.[8]
  • 2021: The fourth Redistricting Commission met, but failed to agree on a redistricting plan by the deadline of November 15, 2021.[9] Under Washington state law, if the commission fails to pass a redistricting plan, then the state Supreme Court is required to do so. After the deadline, the commission published its consensus congressional and state legislative redistricting plans, and encouraged the state Supreme Court to enact them.[10] However, on December 3, the court ruled that the commission had "substantially complied with the statutory deadline" and ordered the commission to complete its work to transmit the consensus redistricting plans to the legislature.[11]
  • 2024: 13 districts, primarily in Central Washington, are redrawn after a U.S. District Court judge ruled that the 15th district was in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.[12]
