Key Democratic lawmakers want to place a question on the 2024 general election ballot that would create an independent redistricting commission to prevent the common practice — including in neighboring Wisconsin — of majority parties drawing highly favorable legislative and congressional district maps that can lock in those majorities for a decade or more.

The proposed constitutional amendment would also seek to prohibit lawmakers from becoming lobbyists within one year of leaving office and give the Legislature more leeway to determine its calendar — including potential year-round sessions.
