Fair Representation Act

This bill would require voters to rank candidates by preference in elections for Senators and House Representatives, instead of just picking one candidate. States with six or more House seats would need to create districts where three to five Representatives are elected from each district, while smaller states would elect all their Representatives statewide. The bill also sets rules for how congressional districts are drawn, including banning maps that are designed to favor or hurt any political party, and it generally stops states from redrawing district lines more than once every ten years. If a state fails to create a new redistricting plan by its deadline, a special court would step in to draw the map, and the federal government would help pay for states to set up the new ranked-choice voting system.
