Arizona

Arizona’s district lines are drawn by a 5-member Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC). In the latest redistricting cycle, the IRC adopted district plans on a 3-2 vote, with the Independent chair siding with the Republican members on official map passage and nearly every vote during the drafting process. Despite public input throughout the process concerning the representation of Native and Latino communities, the new district lines fail to reflect the diverse nature of the state. Recent elections have proven Arizona to be one of the most competitive states in the country–that’s why it’s a 2022 NDRC Democracy Target. We are supporting candidates for Governor and Secretary of State both of whom are committed to free and fair elections, and seek to build power in both chambers of the Legislature to fight back against Republicans’ anti-democratic efforts.
