Proposes constitutional amendment effective January 1, 2015, to create an independent redistricting commission.

Amends Section 3 (senate districts; apportionments of senators) and Section 5 (representative districts; apportionment of representatives) of Article ll of the North Carolina Constitution to provide that the Independent Redistricting Commission, created in this act, revise Senate and House districts and apportionment of Senators and Representatives among those districts so that the districts meet the following goals to the extent possible:  (1) compactness, to avoid elongated and irregularly shaped districts, (2) one person, one vote to ensure each voter's vote, and (3) minimizing the number of split counties, municipalities, and other communities or interest.

Constitutional amendment to Article II adds a new Section 25 providing for a 11-member Hamilton C. Horton, Jr. Independent Redistricting Commission (Commission), four members each from the two largest political parties and three unaffiliated with either major party. Prohibits more than two members from residing in the same county and requires racial, ethnic, geographic and gender diversity. Excludes anyone or any family member who has been a candidate for or served in public office in the last five years or has been a party official or employee or a lobbyist. Provides additional details on the Commission composition.

New GS 163-207.1 sets out procedure for selection of members to the redistricting Commission. Sets out nominating process for selecting screening panelists. Creates 10-member screening panel of current or retired county election board members and directors responsible for establishing a pool of 55 nominees for the Commission, with 20 nominees  each registered with the two major political parties in North Carolina. President Pro Tempore, Speaker and Minority Leaders in both houses then get to strike up to two nominees each. Commission members are then chosen by lottery by the State Board of Elections (State Board) from political party and unaffiliated subpools. If three of four legislative leaders object to Commission for lack of diversity, the State Board goes to another round of random drawings, with a limit of three drawings.

Constitutional amendment to go on ballot at November 2014 general election.
