In Virginia, the government is making a plan for new voting maps. These maps show the different areas, or districts, for elections. Every ten years, states look at their maps and decide if they need to change them. This helps make sure every person's vote is fair.
The leaders in the Virginia legislature made a big decision. They voted and approved a new idea to start this work. This is the first step in a long journey. The new plan will change how the maps are made.
Before, politicians drew the maps. Now, a special group with different people will help. The goal is to make the maps better for everyone. This new way is just starting, and there is much to do before the new maps are ready for the next election.
