See your current U.S. House representative and who would represent you in Congress if voters approve the new map.
Republican-led states including Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri redrew congressional maps mid-decade at President Trump's urging, adding several new GOP seats nationally. Florida has held a special legislative session on redistricting but has not yet enacted a new map.
California was the first Democratic state to respond — voters approved a redrawn congressional map through a similar referendum process. Virginia is now following the same approach, putting the question directly to voters.
In response, Virginia's Democrat-controlled General Assembly drew a new congressional map and passed a constitutional amendment. A YES vote gives them permission to use it — replacing the bipartisan Redistricting Commission's current map.
A NO vote keeps the existing commission-drawn districts in place for 2026.

The General Assembly's redrawn map takes effect for the November 2026 congressional elections. Virginia's 11 districts are redrawn based on the map passed by the Democrat-controlled legislature.
The current commission-drawn districts remain in place. The 2026 congressional elections proceed on the existing map approved after the 2020 Census.
