The nonpartisan Fair Districs NJ coalition advocates for an impartial redistricting policy in New Jersey. Currently, politicians draw district lines designed to benefit those in office (gerrymandering). Fair Districts recommends that districts be redrawn by an impartial, independent citizens commission.
