To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment.

This bill would prohibit states from redistricting their congressional districts more than once following each decennial census and apportionment process. An exception would be made if a court orders a state to conduct a subsequent redistricting to comply with the U.S. Constitution or to enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These provisions would apply to any congressional redistricting occurring after the November 2024 election.

This legislation primarily affects state governments responsible for drawing congressional district boundaries following a decennial census. It also impacts the federal court system, which retains the authority to require subsequent redistricting to ensure compliance with the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Additionally, the bill applies to candidates and voters involved in congressional elections occurring after November 2024.
