Election Map Requirements Act

1. Short Title
(a) This bill shall be referred to as the "Election Map Requirements Act".
(b) This bill was authored by Lysander Lyon.

2. Map Creation & Implementation
(a) The Ministry of State, as outlined in the Amendment to Government Structure Act, shall be responsible for drawing electoral districts. Their proposed maps for each election must then be submitted to Parliament for a vote.
(i) This includes deciding on proportional versus winner-take-all classification for each district, and whether to have an at-large district.
(b) In order for a map proposal to pass, it must receive a ⅔ majority of votes cast.
(i) Map proposals are not laws and as such will not need Crown assent to become law.
(c) Maps cannot be changed after the candidacy period for an election opens. If maps are voted into law after the candidacy period begins, the maps from the prior election are used.
(i) Parliament may also choose not to adopt new maps for an election. If no maps are voted on or successfully passed before the new election period, the existing maps stand.

3. District Manipulation
(a) The Ministry of State may not intentionally draw the maps to favor a political party or a politically engaged group, or ideology.
(b) If individuals within the Ministry of State are found to have intentionally drawn the boundaries in such a way as to favor a party or group, they may be prosecuted for Undermining Democracy. If found guilty, this is to carry a minimum penalty of $5,000 for less egregious violations and a minimum penalty of $10,000 for more egregious violations. It is also to carry a minimum penalty of 45 minutes in jail, and the individual is to be barred from serving in the Ministry of State for at least four months time.

Enactment: This Act comes into force immediately upon passage.

Note: This is a duplicative law. It both amends a number of acts, but also exists on its own because of its own contents.
