This proposed legislation aims to restrict states from performing multiple congressional redistrictings following a decennial census and apportionment. Congress asserts its authority to enact this measure under Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which grants power over the time, place, and manner of federal elections, and Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, concerning the enforcement of apportionment. Under this bill, a state that has completed its initial post-census redistricting would be prohibited from redrawing its congressional maps again until the next apportionment. However, two specific exceptions are provided: a subsequent redistricting is permitted if a court requires it to ensure compliance with the U.S. Constitution , the Voting Rights Act of 1965 , or the State Constitution. Additionally, a second redistricting is allowed if the original legislation implementing the new congressional map explicitly mandated such a subsequent redraw. This act applies to any congressional redistricting occurring after the 2020 decennial census and does not impact state or local elections.
