Redistricting

 

Redistricting in 2022

According to the Constitution, every ten years after the Census is taken, the states must redraw the boundaries for the State Senate, State Assembly and US House of Representatives. This is called redistricting.  New maps based on data from the 2020 Census are pending a decision by the WI Supreme Court before March 1, 2022.
