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 the Republican 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.
The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan were held on November 8,2022,to elect representatives for the thirteen seats in Michigan. The deadline for candidates to file for the August 2 primary was April 19. The congressional makeup prior to the election was seven Democrats and seven Republicans. However,after the 2020 census,Michigan lost one congressional seat. Democrats won a majority of seats in the state for the first time since 2008. This can be partly attributed to the decrease in the number of districts,which resulted in two Republican incumbents –Bill Huizenga and Fred Upton –in the new 4th district. Redistricting also played a part in shifting partisan lean of the districts which favored the Democrats overall,including in the 3rd district,which Democrats were able to flip with a margin of victory of 13 points. That was made possible by a non-partisan citizens' commission drawing the new political boundaries instead of the Michigan legislature after a 2018 ballot proposal was approved.
