Group works to put redistricting amendment on 2024 ballot

Season 2023 Episode 32 | 26m 46s

On the heels of voters striking down Issue 1, the proposal to make it harder for citizens to pass amendments to the state constitution, another amendment battle is taking shape. A group called Citizens Not Politicians is behind a proposed amendment campaign. It wants voters to approve an amendment that would take the power to draw district maps away from lawmakers and give that power to citizens.
