FAIR MAP Act: New Rules for Redistricting and Voter Identification

This Act sets new standards for drawing congressional districts and tightens rules for federal elections. It excludes non-legal residents from the population count used to assign seats in Congress and requires photo ID for voting.
Key points
Congressional districts must be compact and cannot be drawn to favor or disfavor any political party or candidate.
Illegal aliens will be excluded from the population count used to determine the number of representatives and electoral votes for each state.
Ranked choice voting is prohibited in all federal elections.
Voters must present a valid photo ID issued by a government entity to vote in person.
Same-day voter registration is banned for federal elections; voters must be registered before election day.
Signature verification is required for all ballots cast other than in person.
