ACA3 reads:

Data regarding party affiliation or voting history of electors could not
be used. To the extent possible, district boundaries would be required to
be drawn to ensure a prescribed level of competitiveness between the two
largest political parties.

can someone explain to me how one would assess competitiveness if
political data can not be used?

thank you
