|---|---|---|---|
| California | Approved At Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s urging, California voters passed a map countering Texas and helping Democrats’ chances in five House seats. | Dem. | 43 Dem. 9 GOP |
| Missouri | Approved Lawmakers passed a map to help Republicans win another House seat. Opponents started a petition initiative that could block the map. | GOP | 2 Dem. 6 GOP |
| North Carolina | Approved The Republican-led legislature passed a new map that could help their party win one more House seat. | GOP | 4 Dem. 10 GOP |
| Ohio | Approved The current map is expiring. A bipartisan deal, with the GOP holding more leverage, was made for a map that might help Republicans win a couple of seats. Some Democrats say their party could still win them. | GOP | 5 Dem. 10 GOP |
| Texas | Approved At Trump’s urging this summer, Republicans passed a map to help the GOP win five more seats in the House in 2026 — setting off the national map race. The Supreme Court agreed Thursday to let it proceed. | GOP | 13 Dem. 25 GOP |
| Utah | Approved A judge ruled the state’s map was an illegal racial gerrymander and approved a new map that could help Democrats win a seat. | Dem. | 0 Dem. 4 GOP |
| Florida | In progress The Republican governor is calling for the state to redistrict up to five seats in the GOP’s favor this spring. | GOP | 8 Dem. 20 GOP |
| Indiana | In progress At Trump’s urging, the legislature is meeting now to consider targeting the state’s two Democratic-held seats, but some Republicans oppose the move. | GOP | 2 Dem. 7 GOP |
| Maryland | In progress Democratic Gov. Wes Moore has formed a commission to study redistricting that could impact the seat held by a Republican. | Dem. | 7 Dem. 1 GOP |
| Virginia | In progress Democratic lawmakers passed initial approval for a redistricting constitutional amendment that could help their party win a couple of seats. It would require legislative approval again and public vote in 2026. | Dem. | 6 Dem. 5 GOP |
| Illinois | Being considered Democrats in charge have not ruled out redistricting to gain an edge in one or two seats. | Dem. | 14 Dem. 3 GOP |
| Kansas | Being considered Republicans have failed to get enough votes to redistrict the one seat held by a Democrat but can keep trying. | GOP | 1 Dem. 3 GOP |
| Louisiana | Being considered Republican lawmakers have delayed the 2026 primaries by a month to allow more time to help their party redistrict. | GOP | 2 Dem. 4 GOP |
| Colorado | Possible after 2026 It’s probably still a longshot and can’t happen for 2026, but a petition drive and the state attorney general have called for redistricting to help Democrats. | Dem. | 4 Dem. 4 GOP |
| New York | Possible after 2026 Democrats could redistrict, but the state constitution prohibits it from happening in time for the 2026 election. | Dem. | 19 Dem. 7 GOP |
Notes: Legal challenges are ongoing in some states. And the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in October in a case related to the Voting Rights Act that could prompt more states to act.
