Redistricting Reform Act of 2025
The Redistricting Reform Act of 2025 requires states to use independent redistricting commissions for congressional redistricting, banning mid-decade redistricting (redistricting between census years). These commissions must have balanced political representation (with members from the two major parties and nonpartisan members), follow strict criteria including population equality, Voting Rights Act compliance, and banning partisan favoritism, and incorporate public input through hearings and a transparent website. The bill establishes procedures for court intervention if states fail to enact redistricting plans, and applies to all states conducting congressional redistricting following the 2030 census.
