Redistricting is the process by which new congressional, state legislative, and other district boundaries are drawn. Each of the nation's 435 U.S. Representatives and 7,386 state legislators are elected from political divisions called districts.[1] District lines are redrawn every 10 years following completion of the United States census. The federal government stipulates that districts must have nearly equal populations and must not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity. Apart from these guidelines, states may impose additional requirements on redistricting. Redistricting methods vary from state to state; the legislatures themselves are responsible for redistricting in most states, but that authority is vested with independent commissions and politician commissions in some states.[2]
This article presents information about redistricting legislation introduced during or carried over to each state's 2025 legislative session.
