This is a proposed amendment to the Constitution.
1. No criteria except population density, number of districts to be apportioned, and contiguous geographic areas shall be considered or used in determining and constructing boundaries of Congressional or local voting districts within the several States, nor shall voter rolls, political affiliation, voting history, or any other demographic grouping of the proposed constituents be considered or utilized.
2. Congressional or local district boundaries shall wherever possible form a convex polygon.
3. Redistricting activities shall be conducted in each state by a non-partisan commission comprised of equal representation of each of the top three political parties having the most registered voters in that state.
4. No person shall be elected, nor hold, nor be placed on the ballot as a candidate for, any office of trust under the United States, who shall not have produced, and made public, verifiable, bona fide documentation of any and all qualifications alleged by himself, or with his direct or implied consent, that he posseses, for the office he seeks, or any conditions of eligibility therefore, nor shall any public entity or official deny access to or production of the same. Any person found to have secured elected office through falsification or willful concealment of documentation under this section is guilty of defrauding the electorate and shall be immediately removed from office if he be seated, and his election thereto be nullified, and all official Acts which he may have performed shall likewise be nullified. If the office whose election was fraudulently secured under this section is that of the President, all legislation which he shall have signed during his tenure shall be treated as if it had been vetoed.
5. All offices which are filled by election, including the offices of President and Vice-President, shall be considered as separate and distinct from each other, requiring in all cases separate votes, and shall not be conjoined on any ballot, nomination, or certification of election therefore.
6. Federal election authorities shall verify Constitutional eligibility of all persons seeking elected or appointed office under the United States.
7. Electors in the several states who have been appointed to certify the election of the President and Vice-President shall, before casting their votes, examine the documents of Constitutional eligibility provided by the President-elect and Vice-President-elect, and cast votes of yea or nay as to the acceptability of the same; but if any group of electors shall vote “nay”, they shall not proceed to certification of the election results, but shall deliver their objections to the Senate, which shall immediately present those objections to the Supreme Court for resolution, which in its turn shall immediately consider and hear all objections on their merits and return an opinion before the Senate may proceed with certification of the election results from all of the states. If the Supreme Court determines that either the President-elect or the Vice-President-elect is ineligible to serve under this Constitution, the person who has received the second highest number of votes for that position shall be considered to have won the election.
8. The right to vote in any election or ballot issue is reserved to citizens of the United States.
9. Proof of identity and citizenship shall be required in order to vote. No citizen shall be permitted to vote in any election unless he shall first have provided verified documentation of his eligibility.
10. Except absentee ballots, no vote may be cast for any candidate for any Federal office more than seventy-two hours prior to the officially designated election day.
11. Election results and voting patterns shall not be disclosed until all polls have closed on the officially designated election day.
12. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment by the several States, as provided in the Constitution.
Revised 10/28/2010: Added specific limitation of right to vote to US citizen. Added proof of citizenship requirement in order to vote. Added provisions to limit early voting and premature disclosure of election results.
