2010 Ballot Proposed Amendments 5 and 6 Will End Gerrymandering

The League of Women Voters Florida urges voters to vote yes on Amendments 5 and 6. Passage of these two amendments, one of which concerns federal districts and the other state districts,would place standards in the Florida Constitution for Legislators to follow when redrawing district lines.
