In 2024, several states redrew their congressional maps, largely due to court orders addressing racial or partisan gerrymandering, rather than the voluntary "mid-decade" shift seen in 2025.
States that Redrew Congressional Maps for 2024
The following states implemented new congressional boundaries in time for the 2024 elections:
Alabama: Following the Supreme Court ruling in Allen v. Milligan, a court-imposed map was used for the 2024 elections to include a second majority-Black district.
Georgia: A federal judge ordered a redraw after finding the previous maps violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting Black voting power. The Republican-led legislature enacted a new plan in early 2024 that was used for the election.
Louisiana: Lawmakers enacted a new map in early 2024 to create a second majority-Black district under a court mandate.
New York: After the state's highest court threw out the 2022 maps, a new map was adopted in February 2024 that largely favored Democrats.
North Carolina: The state's Republican-controlled legislature redrew the map in late 2023 for use in the 2024 cycle after a change in the state Supreme Court's composition allowed for more aggressive partisan redistricting.
Key Differences from 2025
Court-Driven: Most 2024 redraws (Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, New York) were the result of legal challenges and court mandates.
Decennial Wrap-up: These were often viewed as the final "cleanup" of the 2020 census cycle rather than the proactive mid-decade strategy that began in late 2025.
