About

New York State has many egregious examples of distorted district maps drawn by legislators to ensure that they remain in office. Small areas are carved out of contorted districts to exclude potential challengers and clusters of the opposition party’s voters.

Citizens Redistricting New York is an effort to improve the redistricting process in New York through public dialogue. This is a project of Common Cause/New York, an organization that has decades of experience fighting to make government work better. Common Cause is a leader in redistricting reform across the nation. Citizens Redistricting New York benefits from best practices developed by our sister Common Cause chapters in states around the country.
