Beginning in July 2025, several U.S. states have redrawn or are in the process of redrawing their congressional districts ahead of the 2026 United States House of Representatives elections. These efforts mark one of the largest coordinated attempts to redraw congressional districts between decennial censuses in modern American history.
The redistricting began when Texas gerrymandered its congressional map to benefit Republicans at the behest of President Donald Trump. Republican-led states Missouri and North Carolina soon followed by passing new congressional maps with the aim of gaining more Republican seats.
In response, Democratic-led states began the process of gerrymandering their own congressional maps to counter Republican gains. California was the first, passing an amendment to redraw the state's congressional map to benefit Democrats. Virginia and Maryland followed and announced the process to redraw their districts as well.
Additionally, Ohio was required to redraw its districts since the previous map did not receive bipartisan support in the state legislature as required by the Ohio Constitution. Likewise, Utah was required to redraw due to the Utah Supreme Court striking down the current map as an unlawful partisan gerrymander.
