Talk:Washington's congressional districts

WA legislature does not draw congressional districts
We should add a section about how the state’s congressional districts are determined. Washington is rare among US states in that its legislature does not have direct control of redistricting.

Washington state's congressional districts are determined by the four member Washington State Redistricting Commission. Every ten years (upon the completion of the US census), two members are appointed by each of the state's legislative branches. Democrats in the House get to appoint one member, as do Democrats in the Senate; Republicans from each body also get to appoint one member each. The four appointed members then vote to appoint a fifth, non-partisan chairperson that cannot vote. The commission typically meets monthly for a little over a year, and is disbanded once they have approved a redistricting plan. Danielschauer12 (talk) 21:41, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
