Several states adopted new congressional maps for the 2026 midterms through mid-decade redistricting, a departure from the standard post-census cycle. Republican-led legislatures in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, and Ohio enacted changes, often following a 2025 presidential call for adjustments and a Supreme Court decision limiting Voting Rights Act challenges to majority-minority districts. Democrats advanced a counter-map in California via ballot measure, while Utah implemented court-ordered boundaries favoring a new Democratic-leaning seat. Missouri’s and Virginia’s proposals were blocked by courts, leaving prior maps in place. Ongoing litigation in multiple states continues to shape final boundaries ahead of November voting.
