The Fair Representation Act (H.R. 3863) is a bill filed in the United States House of Representatives. Originally introduced in 2017 during the 115th Congress by Don Beyer (D–VA), it was reintroduced by Beyer in 2019 and 2021.[1][2]
The bill has three main provisions:
- Establish independent redistricting commissions in all states to prevent gerrymandering
- Creating multi-member districts for elections to the House of Representatives, with each district having at least 3 members
- Require the use of ranked choice voting, in particular single transferable vote, to elect members to the House
