Governor Kay Ivey signed the new congressional maps into law on November 4, 2021.

The Alabama redistricting process is controlled by the state legislature, controlled by Republicans, and the Governor, also a Republican.

The state constitution does not set an explicit deadline, providing only that the legislature must apportion representatives in the next session following the census.

On February 7, 2022, the US Supreme Court issued a stay of the lower court's decision blocking the congressional map. Although the stay is temporary, the court won't take up the issue in earnest until its next session later in the year. The state-passed map will therefore be in effect for the primary elections in May and the general election in November.

On January 24, 2022, a three-judge panel unanimously found that the congressional map was racially gerrymandered in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The ruling gives the state legislature 14 days to produce a map that includes "two districts in which Black voters either comprise a voting-age majority or something quite close to it." If the legislature fails to pass a compliant map, the court will appoint a special master to do so.

On November 4, 2021, a lawsuit was filed challenging the new map, and the plaintiffs in the previous lawsuit updated their complaint to include objections to the new map.

On Sept. 28, 2021, a lawsuit was filed alleging that the current congressional district map is racially gerrymandered. Plaintiffs seek a map that is drawn to allow up to two majority-minority districts.

The redistricting process in Arizona is controlled by the Independent Redistricting Commission consisting of five citizen members. The commission traditionally consists of two Democrats, two Republicans, and the chairperson who is unaffiliated with either party.

Members are nominated by the state commission on appellate court appointments and majority and minority leaders in each legislative chamber choose one commissioner. The four select a fifth tiebreaker who is not registered in the same party as any other commissioner. Members must not have ran for or held political office or served as a political party officer in the preceding three years.

The commission must release draft maps of legislative and congressional districts to the public for comment. The comment period cannot be shorter than 30 days. During the public comment period, either or both chambers of the legislature may make recommendations to the commission for its consideration. The commission is subject to state open records and open meetings laws.

A simple majority is required for the commission to approve district maps, with no bipartisan vote requirement. Thus, the unaffiliated chairperson functions as a tiebreaker between the Republican-appointed and Democratic-appointed commissioners.

There is no official redistricting deadline for either state or congressional districts, but candidate filing begins in January.

On Sep. 14, 2021, the Commission approved the initial grid maps to be used by the commission as a starting point for congressional and state legislature maps. The maps divide up Arizona's population into equal sections. The final grid map meeting will take place on Oct. 7, 2021.

On October 28, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission approved draft maps for the state's congressional and legislative districts. The vote kicks off a public comment period where changes can be made to the proposals.

As of November 23, the commission is still holding public comment sessions. Once sufficient public comment has been received, the commission will hold final decision meetings, the last of which will be held on December 22, 2021, where a final map will be voted on.

On December 22, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission approved the final congressional map that the state will use until 2032.

Control of the redistricting process in Connecticut is split. New maps are drawn by the Democratic state legislature and enacted by two-thirds of each chamber. If the legislature fails to pass a map, redistricting falls to a bipartisan commission made up of state legislators. While Democrats control the governorship and legislature, they lack the two-thirds majority in the House required to pass a map, and the governor lacks veto power.

The legislature failed to pass a map by the Sept. 15, 2021, deadline. Therefore, the responsibility for redistricting now goes to a bipartisan commission made up of state legislators. The commission has not yet proposed or enacted a new map.

On Oct. 20, 2021, the Connecticut Reapportionment Commission chose a former state senator, Kevin Johnston, to serve as the commission's ninth, tie-breaking member. Johnston served the same role during the 2011 redistricting process.

The backup commission has until Nov. 30, 2021, to enact a map. If the backup commission fails to enact a map by the deadline, then responsibility for redistricting falls to the State Supreme Court, which will have until Feb. 15, 2022, to enact a map.

As of December 2, 2021 the redistricting commission has requested an extension until December 21, 2021 to redraw Congressional districts.

In Georgia, redistricting is controlled by the legislature, controlled by Republicans, and the governor, also a Republican.

On Sept. 27, 2021, the Senate released the first draft of a new congressional district map. The legislature plans to hold a special session on redistricting beginning Nov. 3, 2021.

The state constitution does not provide a deadline for the completion of congressional redistricting, so the practical deadline is the deadline for filing candidates on March 7, 2022.

Several legal challenges to the new maps were filed concurrently with the signing of the new maps. These challenges assert that the new districts dilute the voting power of people of color, who have accounted for 100% of the population growth that netted the state an additional congressional seat in 2021.

Control of the redistricting process in Hawaii is in the hands of a bipartisan commission appointed by legislative leaders and made up of citizens.

At their Sep. 9, 2021, meeting, the Hawaii Reapportionment Commission Technical Group has released two proposals for the state’s congressional districts, one of which keeps the state’s two congressional districts exactly the same.

Control of the redistricting process in Idaho is in the hands of an independent commission appointed by state legislative leaders and made up of citizens. A simple majority is required for the commission to approve district maps, with no bipartisan vote requirement.

On Nov. 5, 2021, the state panel tasked with drawing new lines for the state's 2 congressional districts approved an updated map by a vote of 4-2.

The Commission officially has 90 days from the time the commission has been organized or the necessary census data is available, whichever is later, to enact maps. However, during the 2011 cycle, the commission failed to adopt districts by its constitutionally mandated deadline. Candidates begin filing for election on Feb. 28, 2022, so maps will need to be drawn by that date.

On November 12, former state lawmaker Branden Durst filed a lawsuit against the Idaho Commission for Reapportionment and Secretary of State Lawerence Denney claiming that the new map is unconstitutional because it splits up more counties than necessary.

Control of the redistricting process in Illinois is held by the Democrats in the legislature. The districts are redrawn by statute and may be vetoed by the governor, also a Democrat.

Under the state constitution, if the state fails to adopt state legislative lines by June 30, 2021, a backup commission will be formed by July 10 to draw those lines. There is no backup commission in the event of a failure to adopt congressional district lines.

To meet the constitutional deadline, lawmakers passed an early version of state legislative districts into law in May, before the full U.S. Census data was received. On Aug. 30, 2021, lawmakers released adjusted proposed maps for state legislative districts, which the legislature passed on Aug. 31, 2021, and signed into law on Sep. 24, 2021 (house, senate).

There have been a handful of substantial legal challenges to Illinois's new maps. The first set of lawsuits were filed by the Illinois Republicans and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund after the first map was signed into law on 06/04/2021. The lawsuit was filed alleging that equal populations coulnd not be ensured in the new districts because ACS data was used rather than the yet released 2020 Census Bureau data.

The new Census data showed significant population differences with the ACS data which lead Democrats to enact a new map during a special session. Republicans are currently arguing that because the new maps were passed after the constitution's 6/30 deadline the redistricting task should be done by a bipartisan commission.

Iowa’s Republican legislature and governor have responsibility for adopting the district maps. However, the maps are drawn by the nonpartisan legislative staff of the Legislative Services Agency, which refer their maps to the state legislature. Unlike many other states, Iowa prohibits its nonpartisan staff from considering partisan data when drawing district maps. Lawmakers must then approve or reject the maps by a simple majority vote. If the legislature rejects the first two proposals from the nonpartisan legislative staff, lawmakers will be able to make amendments to a third proposal.

During a legislative special session that began Oct. 5, 2021, focused on redistricting, lawmakers voted (32-18) to reject the first set of proposed redistricting maps.

On October 28, 2021, the Iowa legislature approved the proposal that redraws the state's congressional maps. Gov. Kim Reynolds must now sign the new political boundaries into law.

In Kansas, Republicans are in full control of the congressional redistricting process. While new maps are drawn and passed by the Republican state legislature and subject to veto by the Democratic governor, Republicans hold the super-majority necessary in the Kansas Legislature to override the governor's veto. Congressional redistricting maps do not require approval by the state supreme court.

Republicans released a map on January 18 and the Senate passed it on January 21, and the House passed it on January 26, sending it to Governor Laura Kelly (D), who vetoed the map on February 3. The Senate overrode the veto on February 8, and the House overrode the veto on February 9.

On April 25, a Wyandotte County judge ruled that the congressional maps are unconstitutional.

On February 14, a suit was filed by 11 residents including the ACLU alleging illegal partisan gerrymandering in violation of the U.S. and Kansas constitutions. The Kansas Supreme Court upheld the maps on May 18.

In Kentucky, new maps are drawn and passed by the Republican state legislature. While Democratic Governor Beshear can veto the measure, Republicans hold veto-proof supermajorities in both the House and the Senate.

A special session is expected to be called now that census numbers have been released.

After quickly passing the Kentucky House and Senate, the redistricting maps were sent to Governor Beshear on January 8th, 2022.

Governor Beshear vetoed the redrawn maps citing gerrymandering, however the Republican supermajorities in the legislature overrode this veto.

Shortly after the Republicans in the legislature overrode Governor Beshear's veto the Kentucky Democratic Party announced they would be suing over the redistricting maps.

Control of the redistricting process in New Jersey is in the hands of an independent commission appointed by state legislative leaders and made up of elected officials and citizens. The congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by two distinct politician commissions.

The congressional redistricting commission comprises the following 13 members. The first 12 commissioners appoint the last member. This member cannot have held public office in the state within the previous five-year period. If the first 12 commissioners cannot agree on an appointment, they must submit two names to the New Jersey Supreme Court. The court must then appoint the final commissioner.

The commission has not yet proposed or enacted a new map. On Aug. 6, 2021, the New Jersey Supreme Court picked the 13th (tiebreaking) member of the state's Congressional Redistricting Commission after the commissioners failed to reach a consensus themselves. On Sep. 1, 2021, the Congressional Redistricting Commission held its first meeting. It said it would hold at least three public hearings on redistricting, with a schedule to be released later.

The commission has until Jan. 18, 2022, to enact a new congressional map. If the congressional redistricting commission fails to reach an agreement about a redistricting plan, it must submit two plans to the state Supreme Court, which must in turn select from those two plans a final map.

On Dec. 22, 2021, the New Jersey Congressional Redistricting Commission enacted a new congressional map, which will take effect for New Jersey’s 2022 congressional elections. The commission voted 7-6 to approve the Democratic map proposal.

Under the state constitution, the commission has one month after the state receives the census data, or on or before Feb. 1 of the year following the year in which the census is taken, whichever is later, to enact new maps. If the 10 members of the commission remain deadlocked by this deadline, then the chief justice of the state supreme court appoints an 11th member. That member gets an additional month to achieve a majority vote on a map.

In 2018, voters approved a legislatively referred constitutional amendment to create a novel redistricting process for congressional districts. It is a multistep process with changing criteria depending on how new maps are ultimately adopted:

The legislature has the first chance to draw new congressional districts. If three-fifths of the members of each chamber of the legislature, including at least half the members of each of the two largest political parties in the chamber, approve of the map, then it becomes law.

If by Sept. 30, 2021, the legislature has yet to adopt new maps, the power to redistrict shifts to the Ohio Redistricting Commission, which must adopt new maps by a bipartisan vote by Oct. 31, 2021.

If by Nov. 1, 2021, the commission has yet to adopt new maps, the task of drawing new maps shifts back to the legislature, which must adopt a plan by Nov. 30, 2021. It may do so by a simple majority vote, but any maps adopted without votes from both parties are only valid for four years and (uniquely to these maps) cannot be drawn to unduly favor or disfavor a political party or incumbent.

The Ohio Redistricting Commission held its first and only congressional redistricting meeting at the Ohio Statehouse and didn’t approve an official map proposal. Since the commission failed to meet the Nov. 2, 2021, deadline, the map-making authority now will head to the state legislature, which will have until Nov. 30, 2021, to approve new congressional districts.

11/20/2021: Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed into law a map of new congressional districts on Saturday that will be in effect for the next four years. Neither the legislative map or congressional map won a single vote from any Democrats on the Ohio Redistricting Commission or in the General Assembly. That means the maps will be in place for four years instead of 10.

Ohio Redistricting Commission draws state legislative lines (Approved by voters 2015):

For legislative districts, a commission composed of legislative and executive officials had responsibility for drawing maps. The seven-member commission consists of the Governor, Auditor, Secretary of State and four members of the General Assembly, two from each party.

A federal court ruling on Ohio's legislative maps took effect on May 28, which ordered maps drawn by the Ohio Redistricting Commission in February be used for the 2022 elections and set a legislative primary date of August 2, 2022. These maps will take effect for Ohio's 2022 state legislative elections.

Three lawsuits were filed against the maps at the Ohio Supreme Court, saying GOP mapmakers disregarded a section of voter-approved changes to the Ohio Constitution that required them to attempt to match voters' political preferences. They argued that the maps gave Republicans an unfair and unearned advantage.

If the legislature does not redistrict before the state's constitutional deadline —which is within 90 days after the convening of the first regular session of the legislature following each federal decennial census — the task of drawing legislative districts falls to a seven-member backup commission consisting of executive officials and appointees of executive and legislative partisan officials.

In order to meet the constitutional deadline, the legislature enacted temporary maps on May 13, 2021, based on U.S. Census estimates instead of the final Census numbers, which were released on a delay due to the pandemic. The legislature will need to redraw the state legislative districts based on the final U.S. Census data, which it plans to due during a special legislative session to address redistricting to take place beginning Nov. 15, 2021.

Pennsylvania’s legislative districts are drawn by a commission consisting of the four legislative leaders (or their designees) and a chair who may not be a compensated local, state, or federal official. If the commission is unable to reach an agreement, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court must appoint the commission chair.

On May 3, 2021, after the commission was unable to reach an agreement, the state supreme court appointed the 5th member and chair of the commission, Mark A. Nordenberg, Chancellor Emeritus of the University of Pittsburgh.

The Legislative Reapportionment Commission announced that it will hold at least eight public meetings.

The commission must release new preliminary state legislative maps no later than 90 days after either the commission has been certified or the census data is released (whichever is later). This gives them until Jan. 12, 2022, to produce a preliminary map.

State legislative candidates may begin filing for election on Feb. 15, 2022, so maps will need to be drawn by that date.

On February 4, 2022, the 2021 Pennsylvania Legislative Reapportionment Commission approved the Final Reapportionment Plan for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and Pennsylvania Senate. In accordance with Pennsylvania Constitution, any aggrieved person may file an appeal directly to the Supreme Court within 30 days after the filing.

Redistricting maps in Washington are drawn by a bipartisan commission made up of citizens. However, the Democratic state legislature can slightly modify the commission's map with a two-thirds supermajority vote.

Washington State Redistricting Commission is made up of two Democrats, two Republicans, and one unaffiliated non-voting chair. A supermajority of three votes is required for the commission to adopt a district map.

On Sep. 28, 2021, each member of the commission released their own draft congressional map proposal.

The commission has until Nov. 15, 2021, to approve its maps. At that time, the legislature has 30 days in session to amend the map. If the commission fails to produce a map by the Nov. 15 deadline, the state Supreme Court will have until Apr. 30, 2022, to draw its own maps.

Statement from Commission Chair November 16, 2021: the four voting commissioners on the State Redistricting Commission were unable to adopt a districting plan by the midnight deadline. Pursuant to RCW 44.05.100, the Washington Supreme Court now has jurisdiction to adopt a districting plan.
