U.S. politicians are moving to redraw congressional district boundaries ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. State legislatures and commissions in multiple states have begun or accelerated redistricting reviews. These reviews adjust district lines based on population changes recorded in the most recent census data.
The redistricting process occurs after each decennial census and is required by federal law. Officials use updated population counts to ensure each congressional district contains roughly equal numbers of residents. Redistricting decisions are made at the state level. Some states use independent commissions while others rely on legislative majorities to approve new maps.
Changes to district boundaries can shift which voters are included in each congressional district. This affects how votes are counted in House elections. Voters in affected districts will see new boundaries when they cast ballots in the November 2026 midterm elections.
