2026 Congressional Redistricting

Democratic state legislators have proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow the Virginia General Assembly to redraw congressional districts outside of the normal 10-year redistricting process. This is part of a national Democratic response to Republican-led redistricting efforts in other states, kicked off by President Trump's encouragement to draw maps that are more favorable for the GOP before midterm elections this November. With majorities in the House of Delegates and State Senate, Virginia Democrats would be able to redraw the Commonwealth’s U.S. House of Representatives districts to give their party an advantage. On February 5, party leaders released a proposed map.
