| Arkansas | Districts left in place | In Christian Ministerial Alliance v. Thurston, plaintiffs alleged racial gerrymandering diluting the voting power of black voters by splitting Little Rock into three districts. The case was heard in a federal district court. The panel ruled that it did not constitute a racial gerrymander and dismissed the case. [88] |  | | |

| California | New districts enacted | In response to Texas's redistricting, a new map was approved by voters in a special statewide election temporarily permitting an off-cycle redistricting. The state's constitution prohibits the state legislature from drawing congressional districts, so the map was subject to a 2025 referendum. It was passed by two-thirds of the legislature and over a 64% majority approval by the state's voters for the new districts to take place. [89] |  4 |  3 | 1 |

| Florida | Pending legislative action | 2022–2025 Voting Rights Act Litigation - In September 2023, a state circuit judge ruled that the map passed by the state legislature discriminated against Black voters, by redrawing the formerly plurality-Black 5th district to no longer have a Black plurality. Florida appealed this ruling and the map was reinstated by an appeals court. [90] In July 2025, the Florida Supreme Court ruled 5–1 to keep the current maps in place, finding that creating a plurality-Black congressional district would violate the federal Equal Protection Clause.

| Georgia | Litigation pending | In October 2023, a federal district judge ruled that Georgia's districts are racially gerrymandered, and ordered a new map with an additional majority-black district.

| Indiana | Districts left in place | On November 18, 2025, the Indiana State Senate voted 29–19 against meeting in December with their House colleagues to discuss redistricting. [95] Despite this, Governor Mike Braun stated that he would "explore all options" to enable redistricting, in response to pressure from President Trump. On November 25, the state senate announced it would vote on a potential proposal approved by the state house. [96] After passing in the state house, the state senate rejected the proposal 31–19.

| Kansas | Districts left in place | Republican Kansas state legislators announced a plan to call a special session to redraw the 3rd congressional district, but lacked the necessary support in the House. [82] | | | |

| Maryland | Districts left in place | In November 2025, Governor Wes Moore announced the creation of the Redistricting Advisory Commission which began the process of redistricting the congressional lines to make the 1st district more Democratic. The plan has received support from State House Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk, but opposition from State Senate President Bill Ferguson. In January 2026, the Governor's Redistricting Advisory Commission voted to recommend a congressional map that would redraw the 1st congressional district to make it more favorable for Democrats. [97] The map passed the state house on February 2. [84] On February 20, Ferguson told reporters that the window to redraw Maryland's congressional maps had closed, killing the bill. [98] | | | |

| New York | Pending commission action | Voters in NY-11 filed a lawsuit in October 2025, claiming the Staten Island-based district illegally dilutes the power of Black and Hispanic voters in the district. [100] Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Pearlman ordered the independent redistricting commission to make new maps to reconfigure NY-11 by February 6, 2026.

| North Carolina | New districts enacted | The state Senate passed the bill for a new map making the competitive 1st congressional district more Republican-leaning on October 21, 2025. The state House passed it the next day. The governor, Josh Stein, does not have the authority to veto the map. [78] It has received pushback from the NAACP and Common Cause, both of which accused the new map of diluting the minority vote. A hearing was held on November 19 to consider blocking the map. [102] | | 1 | 1 |

| Ohio | New districts enacted | Ohio voters amended the constitution in 2018, creating a process that requires both Republicans and Democrats in the state legislature to vote on the new congressional map. In the 2020 redistricting cycle, Democrats did not back a Republican proposal, necessitating a new map to be drawn in 2025. In October 2025, the Ohio Redistricting Commission passed a compromise map in a unanimous vote. The new map makes the 1st district more competitive, the 9th district lean more Republican, and the 13th district lean more Democratic. [72] | | 2 | 2 |

| South Carolina | Districts left in place | In June 2025, the South Carolina Supreme Court heard arguments in League of Women Voters v. Alexander , as to whether the congressional maps are an unlawful partisan gerrymander in violation of the state's constitution.

Common Cause , leaving the current map in place. [67] | | | |

| Texas | New districts enacted | In League of United Latin American Citizens v.

[104] In early 2025, the Trump Administration urged Texas officials to redraw congressional districts. This was followed by a meeting of the Texas Republican congressional delegation to discuss mid-decade redistricting to secure extra Republican seats. [105] On July 9, Governor Greg Abbott called a special session of the legislature to be held later that month with the goal of creating 5 new Republican seats. After Texas House Democrats staged a weeks-long walkout, the legislature passed the new maps on August 23, and Abbott signed them into law on August 29. [73] The previous case was paused, pending new maps. [69] After passage, on August 27, the court scheduled a preliminary injunction hearing to begin on October 1 to October 10. [106] On November 18, the panel issued a preliminary injunction blocking the new map, putting the former map back in place. The case on the 2021 maps remains open, pending action from the U.S. Supreme Court in Louisiana v. Callais . [74] On November 21, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an administrative stay on the lower court ruling, temporarily leaving the new map in place.

The case was sent back to a state district court, which held a hearing in January 2025. A ruling for the League of Women Voters was issued on August 25. New maps were expected to be drawn up by the Legislature by September 24 and finalized by November. [108] On October 6, the Utah Legislature passed a new map, which changed 2 Republican districts to be more competitive. [109] On November 10, Utah Third District Judge Dianna Gibson ruled that the new map also violated Proposition 4, opting to approve a plaintiff-submitted alternative, Map 1, which creates a safe Democratic district comprised solely of Salt Lake County. [70] | 1 | | 1 |

| Virginia | Litigation pending | Democratic state lawmakers announced a plan to alter the state constitution to draw a new congressional map before the 2026 elections making 3-4 more Democratic seats. [83] On January 27, 2026, Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley Jr. ruled that a proposed constitutional amendment letting Democrats redraw the state's congressional maps was illegal, setting back the party's efforts to pick up seats for the House of Representatives. [110] On January 28, the Democratic Party of Virginia appealed the ruling. [111] On February 10, both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly passed a map that would net the Democratic Party 4 congressional seats. [112] On February 13, the Virginia Supreme Court paved the way for the Democrats to finalize the redistricting, but would need approval from the voters on April 21, 2026. [113] | TBA |
