This partnership was formed as a tool to support higher education institutions fulfilling the requirements of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which necessitates that institutions distribute voter registration forms to their students. Due to the lack of instructions and guidance regarding this requirement, the Voter Friendly Campus designation process was developed to further the work of the Students Learn Students Vote coalition in creating more measurable and manageable guidelines for institutions to follow to create a more voter-friendly campus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row colSet\">\n<div class=\"sColumn col-sm-12 col-md-12

These districts divide states and the people who live there into geographical territories. Districts are occasionally the same size as the whole jurisdiction: members of a local school board, for example, may each be elected from an area with the same boundaries as the overall school district the board governs. Most of the time, though, district lines subdivide territory, so that there are several districts within one city or state and representatives for each separate district. When that happens, we need some way to decide where the lines will be drawn.<\/p>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>A Brief History of Redistricting<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p>In the colonial era, many districts were defined by the borders of towns or counties or groups of towns and counties. The legislature was formed by assigning a certain number of representatives to each of these districts. So, for example, New York State\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stateconstitutions.umd.edu\/Search\/results.aspx?srch=1&amp;state=%27NY%27&amp;CID=145,146,147,148,149&amp;art=4&amp;sec=&amp;amd=&amp;key=&amp;Yr=#C1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1777 Constitution<\/a>\u00a0assigned nine representatives to New York \u201ccity and county,\u201d ten to Albany \u201ccity and county,\u201d four to Queens County, two to Kings County, and so on. And the infamous Massachusetts gerrymander of 1812 was really just a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/redistricting.lls.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gerrymander-act.pdf\">particular configuration<\/a>\u00a0of Massachusetts towns and counties.<\/p>\n<p>As the country\u2019s population grew, it did not grow equally, and some towns and counties grew much larger than others. Some jurisdictions kept pace with changing population, shifting the number of representatives assigned to each district, or reconfiguring district lines; others did not. Sometimes, districts stayed the same despite population shifts because of an underlying philosophy: several state Senate systems were modeled after the federal Senate, with representation for counties as such rather than the population therein. Sometimes, districts stayed the same because of political advantage or neglect: from 1901 through 1961, the Tennessee legislature simply ignored a state constitutional requirement to redraw district lines. In either case, the result was that some districts grew much larger than others. By the 1960s, for example, Los Angeles County (the largest district in California) had 422 times as many people as California\u2019s smallest district. And because each district in California\u2019s state senate elected one Senator, each person in the smallest district enjoyed 422 times the Senate representation of each Los Angeles resident.<\/p>\n<p>In a series of cases starting in the mid-1960s, the Supreme Court decided that this sort of population disparity violated the U.S. Constitution. It required a roughly equal population for each legislative district. This meant that district boundaries would have to be periodically readjusted, to account for new population information. So now, after the Census is conducted at the start of a new decade, district boundaries have to be redrawn.<\/p>\n<p>This is the process we know as redistricting.<\/p>\n<p>-From &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/redistricting.lls.edu\/redistricting-101\/what-is-redistricting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is redistricting?<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Moving Districts<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p>Here are the municipalities by county that have been shifted from one congressional district to another:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bergen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Moving from the 9th Congressional District, currently represented by Democratic Rep.
