107	107	4.15 Sec. 3. [2.94] DISTRICTING PRINCIPLES.
108	108	4.16 Subdivision 1.Applicability.The principles in this section apply to legislative and
109	109	4.17congressional districts. The Bipartisan Redistricting Commission established by the
110	110	4.18Minnesota Constitution, article XV, may adopt additional principles to be used in drawing
111	111	4.19districts. Additional principles adopted by the commission must not conflict with those
112	112	4.20identified in this section.
113	113	4.21 Subd. 2.Nesting.A representative district may not be divided in the formation of a
114	114	4.22senate district.
115	115	4.23 Subd. 3.Equal population.(a) Legislative districts must be substantially equal in
116	116	4.24population. The population of a legislative district must not deviate from the ideal by more
117	117	4.25than 0.5 percent, plus or minus.
118	118	4.26 (b) Congressional districts must be as nearly equal in population as practicable.
119	119	4.27 Subd. 4.Contiguity; compactness.Districts must be composed of convenient, contiguous
120	120	4.28territory. To the extent consistent with the other principles in this section, districts should
121	121	4.29be compact. Contiguity by water is sufficient if the water is not a serious obstacle to travel
122	122	4.30within the district. Point contiguity is not sufficient.
123	123	4.31 Subd. 5.Numbering.(a) Legislative districts must be numbered in a regular series,

129	129	5.4 (b) Congressional district numbers must begin with district one in the southeast corner
130	130	5.5of the state and end with district eight in the northeast corner of the state.
131	131	5.6 Subd. 6.Minority representation.(a) The dilution of racial or ethnic minority voting
132	132	5.7strength is contrary to the laws of the United States and the state of Minnesota. These
133	133	5.8principles must not be construed to supersede any provision of the Voting Rights Act of
134	134	5.91965, as amended.
135	135	5.10 (b) A redistricting plan must not have the intent or effect of dispersing or concentrating
136	136	5.11minority population in a manner that prevents minority communities from electing their
137	137	5.12candidates of choice.
138	138	5.13 Subd. 7.Minor civil divisions.(a) A county, city, or town must not be unduly divided
139	139	5.14unless required to meet equal population requirements or to form districts composed of
140	140	5.15convenient, contiguous territory.
141	141	5.16 (b) A county, city, or town is not unduly divided in the formation of a legislative or
142	142	5.17congressional district if:
143	143	5.18 (1) the division occurs because a portion of a city or town is noncontiguous with another
144	144	5.19portion of the same city or town; or
145	145	5.20 (2) despite the division, the known population of any affected county, city, or town
146	146	5.21remains wholly located within a single district.
147	147	5.22 Subd. 8.Preserving communities of interest.(a) Districts should attempt to preserve
148	148	5.23identifiable communities of interest where that can be done in compliance with the principles
149	149	5.24under this section.
150	150	5.25 (b) For purposes of this subdivision, "communities of interest" means recognizable areas
151	151	5.26with similarities of interests, including but not limited to racial, ethnic, geographic, social,
152	152	5.27or cultural interests.
153	153	5.28 Subd. 9.Incumbents.Districts must not be drawn for the purpose of protecting or
154	154	5.29defeating an incumbent.
155	155	5.30 Subd. 10.Priority of principles.Where it is not possible to fully comply with the
156	156	5.31principles contained in subdivisions 2 to 9, a redistricting plan must give priority to those
157	157	5.32principles in the order in which they are listed in this section, except to the extent that doing

159	159	25-01266 as introduced01/13/25 REVISOR JFK/ES 6.1so would violate federal or state law. Additional principles adopted by the Bipartisan
