|---|---|---|---|
| California | Enacted At Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s urging, California voters passed a map countering Texas and helping Democrats win five more House seats. | Dem. | 43 Dem. 9 GOP |

| Texas | Enacted At Trump’s urging this summer, Republicans passed a map to help the GOP win five more seats in the House — setting off the national map race. | GOP | 13 Dem. 25 GOP |
| Missouri | Enacted Lawmakers passed a map to help Republicans win another House seat. Opponents started a petition initiative that could block it. | GOP | 2 Dem. 6 GOP |

| Utah | In progress Democrats could pick up a seat in this Republican state after a judge ruled that the current map was an illegal partisan gerrymander. It’s still under a court review. | Dem. | 0 Dem. 4 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 |
| Florida | Being considered Republicans have formed a legislative committee to consider redistricting requested by Trump with the goal of two more GOP seats. | GOP | 8 Dem. 20 GOP |

| Indiana | Being considered At Trump’s urging, Republican leaders will meet in December to consider redistricting that helps their party win one or two seats. | GOP | 2 Dem. 7 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 |
| Maryland | Being considered 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 |
| 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 other 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.
