NJ Amendment to Postpone Redistricting if Census Data Not Received by 02/15/2021


On Nov. 3rd, 2020, New Jersey Voters will decide a Constitutional Amendment, that would Postpone State Legislative Redistricting until after the 2021 Election, if Federal Census Data isn’t Received by Feb. 15th, 2021.

If Redistricting is Postponed, the Current State Legislative Districts, which have been used since 2011, would Remain in use for the 2021 Election.

New Districts would be used Beginning in 2023.

The Constitutional Amendment would also use this Delayed Timeline in Future Redistricting Cycles if Census Data isn’t Received by Feb. 15th of the year after the Census: 2031; 2041; 2051; and so on.

Following the 2010 Redistricting Process, New Jersey was the First State to Implement New State Legislative Maps, Approving them on April 3rd, 2011.

These States followed New Jersey: Indiana; Iowa; Louisiana; and Virginia.
