Redistricting

2020-2021

See also: Redistricting in Hawaii after the 2020 census

The Hawaii Reapportionment Commisssion approved a new congressional district map on January 28, 2022.[27] Two congressional district maps were presented to the commission at their meeting on September 9, 2021. One map kept the congressional lines as they were drawn following the 2010 census. An alternate map slightly adjusted the lines along the western coast of Oahu.[28] On October 1, the commission voted to adopt the alternate proposal, shown here.[29] After hearing public testimony, the commission drafted a final proposal on January 26.[30] This map took effect for Hawaii's 2022 congressional elections.

How does redistricting in Hawaii work? In Hawaii, a nine-member commission draws both congressional and state legislative district lines. The majority and minority leaders of the Hawaii State Senate and Hawaii House of Representatives each select two members. These eight members then select a ninth tie-breaking commissioner. If the commission is unable to reach an agreement on a ninth member, the Hawaii Supreme Court must make the appointment.[31]

Both congressional and state legislative district boundaries must be contiguous and compact. In addition, where possible, district lines "must follow permanent and easily recognized features ... and coincide with census tracts." In addition, "districts must also avoid submerging one area in another with substantially different predominant socioeconomic interests." No district can be drawn "to unduly favor a person or political faction."[31]

State law permits state legislative districts to be multimember, but a maximum of four representatives can be elected from a single district.[31]

In 2011, the Hawaii State Legislature re-drew the congressional districts based on updated population information from the 2010 census.
