Michigan Proposal 18-2 was a ballot initiative approved by voters in Michigan as part of the 2018 United States elections. The proposal was created in preparation of the 2020 United States Census,to move control of redistricting from the state legislature to an independent commission. The commission consists of thirteen members selected randomly by the secretary of state:four affiliated with Democrats,four affiliated with Republicans,and five independents. Any Michigan voter can apply to be a commissioner,as long as they have not been,in the last six years,a politician or lobbyist. Proponents argued that Michigan's current districts are gerrymandered,giving an unfair advantage to one political party. Opponents argued that the process would give the secretary of state too much power over redistricting,and that the people on the commission would be unlikely to understand principles of redistricting. The proposal was approved with 61.28% of the vote.
