The official print number for this legislation is HR 5837.
Electoral Stability: States Limited to One Congressional Map Change Per Decade.
This law aims to stabilize elections by prohibiting states from redrawing Congressional district boundaries more than once between the 10-year censuses. For citizens, this means the voting district for their House Representative will remain consistent for a full decade, reducing confusion and potential political manipulation of electoral maps. Exceptions are allowed only if mandated by a court or through a statewide referendum to ensure constitutional compliance.
Key points
States are restricted to drawing new Congressional voting maps only once after each 10-year census count.
This prevents frequent, politically motivated changes to district boundaries during the decade, promoting electoral stability.
The restriction does not apply if a court requires map changes to enforce constitutional rights or the Voting Rights Act.
