Congressional Redistricting Map Approval
Plain-English Summary
A lawsuit challenges the proposed ballot language for a measure to approve Missouri's new congressional map. The map, signed by Governor Mike Kehoe, creates new districts for U.S. House representation. Voters may decide on the map in November 2026 if enough petition signatures are verified.
What each outcome does
If the measure passes, the new congressional map, House Bill No. 1 (2025 Second Extraordinary Session), will be approved and implemented for future elections.
If the measure fails, the new congressional map will not be approved, and Missouri's existing congressional plan would remain in effect.
