As the 2020 census looms, a by-product of counting everyone in Illinois will be redrawing legislative districts. 

The process, often called gerrymandering, can draw criticism when maps come out with odd boundaries, often seen as a way to craft districts that are set up to favor one party or another. Democrat Governor JB Pritzker says he wants the redistricting process to be fair.

Pritzker hasn’t said much publicly if he would push for a constitutional amendment to create a non-partisan commission to draw legislative maps.
