Abstract: Abstract This chapter explains the attributes to feature when depicting a proposed plan for consideration. Two salient features are considered: how well the plan accords with established legal standards and precedents; and how it affords minority voters an equal opportunity to participate in the political process and elect representatives of their choice. We identify relevant standards and types of electoral districts that could confer the “opportunity to elect” on one or more protected minorities. Users can access a basic template and narrative summarizing relevant metrics and adapt them for use.
