Constitutional Amendment to Allow Mid-Decade Congressional Redistricting
Plain-English Summary
This proposed constitutional amendment would create a temporary exception allowing the Virginia General Assembly to redraw congressional districts outside the standard 10-year cycle. This authority would be limited to congressional districts, not state legislative lines, and would expire in 2030. Lawmakers could act if another state redraws its congressional map mid-decade for reasons other than a court order.
What each outcome does
If this amendment passes, the General Assembly would gain limited, temporary authority to redraw Virginia's congressional districts under specific circumstances, such as if another state redraws its congressional map mid-decade.
If this amendment fails, the General Assembly would not gain the limited, temporary authority to redraw congressional districts outside the standard decennial cycle, maintaining the current redistricting process.
