To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment.

Sponsored By: Representative Kiley, Kevin [I-CA-3]

Introduced

Summary

Limits each State to a single congressional redistricting between decennial apportionments. It would base that limit on Congress's authority under Article I and the enforcement powers of the Fourteenth Amendment and allow redraws only when courts order them to fix constitutional or Voting Rights Act violations.

Show full summary
  • States and legislatures: Would generally be barred from adopting more than one U.S. House redistricting plan between decennial apportionments. The rule kicks in for any congressional redistricting that occurs after the November 2024 election.
  • Voters and minority communities: Preserves a court-ordered exception so judges can require additional maps to remedy constitutional problems or enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
  • State and local officials: Leaves unchanged how states conduct elections for state and local offices and how they establish state and local districts.
