This document serves as a discussion guide on principles for state and congressional redistricting process in the US. Each general principle includes background, analysis and discussion questions. The authors are concerned with the decline in competitiveness of federal elections in the US. In their view, the high level of partisan and incumbent gerrymandering in the redistricting process at both the national and state levels is a driving force behind this problem. They call for a dialogue on reforming the redistricting process in order to increase competitiveness, transparency and public participation in elections.
