On November 2, redistricting reform ballot measures passed in both Florida and California. In Florida, the measures require the legislature to draw congressional and legislative district boundaries without regard for partisanship and without regard for helping incumbents. The lines must respect county boundaries to the extent possible. Both measure (one for U.S. House boundaries, and one for legislative boundaries) needed 60%, but both attained it.
In California, over 60% of the voters voted to transfer authority for drawing U.S. House district boundaries to the same Citizens Commission that was already in place for drawing legislative boundaries. A rival measure, to eliminate the Citizens Commission, failed with only 40% of the vote.
