This specific instance of gerrymandering is to off-set Texas redistricting to add an additional 5 republican seats.

It has to be voted on because we (the state of California) have previously passed a law saying that any redistricting/gerrymandering must be mandated by the people. Otherwise they wouldn't even need to ask. They could just do it.
