He supports the creation of an independent, bipartisan commission to draw future electoral maps. Senate Bill 22 and House Bill 722 are examples of legislative proposals to end gerrymandering.
“It’s time to remove barriers to voting”
Gov. Wolf noted that lawmakers in Pennsylvania House and Senate championed the above reforms to modernize the state’s voting laws. These reforms also “put the people of Pennsylvania back in control of our elections.”
“It’s time to remove barriers to voting, end gerrymandering, and curb special interests,” he said.
