What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryLimits when states can redraw congressional districts
This bill restricts how often states can redraw the boundaries of their congressional districts. Once a state redraws its districts after a census (which happens every 10 years), it generally cannot redraw them again until after the next census. The only exceptions are if a court orders a redraw to fix a constitutional problem or to follow the Voting Rights Act.
How it affects you
If you live in a state, this could affect how your congressional district is shaped and who represents you in Congress. States would have less ability to change district boundaries between censuses, which means the boundaries you vote in would stay the same longer. The practical effect depends on whether you live in a state that has tried to redraw districts multiple times in a decade.

Anti-Rigging Act of 2025
This bill prohibits a state where the congressional districts have been redistricted after a decennial census from carrying out another redistricting until after the next apportionment of Representatives following a decennial census, unless a court requires the state to conduct a subsequent redistricting to comply with the Constitution or enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The bill is applicable to any congressional redistricting which occurs after the regular decennial census conducted during 2020.
