Redistricting

Redistricting in Washington is handled by the Washington State Redistricting Commission, which is a bipartisan body responsible for drawing the boundaries of the congressional and state legislative districts. The commission is composed of four voting members appointed by the legislative leaders of the two major parties, and a non-voting chair selected by the four members.
