Who determines congressional and legislative districts?

Nonpartisan Commission on Redistricting
Nonpartisan Redistricting Commission
Independent Redistricting Commission
Independent Commission on Elective Districts

The correct answer is: Independent Redistricting Commission

The Independent Redistricting Commission is responsible for determining congressional and legislative districts in Arizona. This commission was established to create a fair and transparent redistricting process that is free from partisan influences, addressing concerns about gerrymandering. The aim is to ensure that district maps reflect the interests of Arizona's diverse population while maintaining equal representation. The independent nature of this commission means that it operates separately from the influence of state legislators and political parties, fostering a process that enhances democratic participation. The commissioners are appointed from various sectors of society to maintain impartiality, which is crucial for gaining public trust in the electoral district mapping process. In contrast, the other options mentioned reflect various nonpartisan or independent commission structures that may exist in different contexts or states, but they do not specifically denote the established body in Arizona responsible for redistricting, which is the Independent Redistricting Commission.
