This legislation aims to prevent states from conducting multiple rounds of Congressional redistricting within a single decade after the decennial census and apportionment. It establishes that once a state has completed its initial redistricting process, it cannot undertake another until the subsequent apportionment, thereby promoting electoral stability and trust in the process. However, the bill outlines specific exceptions to this prohibition. A state may conduct subsequent redistricting if a court mandates it to ensure compliance with the Constitution or to enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965 . If a court itself draws new maps for these reasons, the state legislature or a state-approved redistricting commission is granted an opportunity to propose alternative maps that also meet constitutional and VRA requirements. Additionally, a state can undertake further redistricting if it orders a statewide referendum specifically for the purpose of complying with the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act. This Act clarifies that Congress asserts its authority to enact these terms under Article I, Section 4, and Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. The provisions regarding court-mandated redistricting apply to any Congressional redistricting occurring after the 2020 census, while the referendum exception applies to referenda ordered after November 3, 2026, and does not affect state or local elections.
