How did your legislator vote on the redistricting amendment?

The redistricting amendment (S10637A / A11553A)

In 2014, New York voters added the Independent Redistricting Commission to the State Constitution, along with a rule that districts may not be drawn to favor or disfavor incumbents, candidates, or political parties. This proposed amendment would:

• Allow mid-decade redistricting starting in 2028, instead of once after each census
• Let the Legislature bypass the Independent Redistricting Commission
• Remove the Constitution's language prohibiting partisan gerrymandering

Supporters argue New York needs to respond to mid-decade gerrymanders in other states. We believe weakening New York's own protections would make our elections less fair, whichever party benefits. Voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.

Where it stands: Passed both houses on June 3, 2026 (first passage). A constitutional amendment must pass the Legislature again, this time the Legislature elected in November 2026, and then be approved by voters in a statewide referendum, expected in 2027. Read the amendment
