In order to limit partisan gerrymandering in the redistricting process, some states have taken the responsibility for drawing electoral maps away from state legislatures and give it to an independent redistricting commission
Step-by-step explanation:
Gerrymandering is an electoral practice in U.S. politics which draws boundaries between electoral districts.
Gerrymandering manipulates the district boundaries intentionally based on the voting pattern. This discriminates voters or districts based on their sections, race, or political views.
Gerrymandering can sometimes be harmful to democracy because it might favor a single partisan by pre-determining voting outcomes and depriving the voter’s own choice.
Hence in order to prevent this unfair electoral process, some of the U.S. states have given this responsibility to a redistricting commission (bipartisan or non-partisan based) to draw and define the electoral boundaries of districts in the state. This commission acts independently of the state legislature.
