Virginia voters approve Amendment 1 creating bipartisan redistricting commission

Virginia voters approved Amendment 1 on November 3, 2020, amending the state constitution to create a 16-member Virginia Redistricting Commission with equal representation from Democrats and Republicans and eight citizen members. The measure passed with 65.69% of the vote, carrying every county and independent city except Arlington. The amendment required maps to win a bipartisan supermajority before taking effect, replacing the General Assembly as the sole mapmaker.
