Three more States: Massachusetts, Ohio, and Oklahoma, recently enacted Congressional Redistricting Plans, bringing the Total number of States that have adopted such Plans to 17.
On this date in 2011, 27 states had adopted New Congressional Maps following the 2010 Census.
Massachusetts: Gov. Charlie Baker (R) signed that State’s New Congressional Maps on Nov. 22nd, after the Legislature Approved it on Nov. 17th.
The State House Approved the Plan by a Vote of 151-8, and the State Senate Approved it, 26-13.
In the previous Redistricting Cycle, Massachusetts adopted its Congressional Map almost 10 years ago, to the day, on Nov. 21st, 2011.
Ohio: Governor Mike Dewine (R) signed that State's New Congressional Redistricting Plan into Law on Nov. 20th.
The Ohio Senate voted 24-7 along Party Lines to Approve the Redistricting Measure on Nov. 16th, and the State House Approved it 55-36 on Nov. 18th.
In the House, 55 Republicans Voted to Approve the Map, while Five Republicans and 31 Democrats Voted against the Map.
Since the Map did Not receive Approval from One-Half of the Democratic Lawmakers, and in accordance with the Congressional Redistricting Procedures Amendment Voters Approved in 2018, the Plan will last for Two General Election Cycles, or Four years, rather than 10.
Oklahoma: Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) signed that State’s Congressional Maps on Nov. 22nd.
The Legislature Approved it in a Special Session that began Nov. 15th.
The State House Passed the Plan 75-19 on Nov. 17th, and the State Senate Passed it 36-10 on Nov. 19th.
After the 2010 census, Oklahoma Enacted its Congressional Redistricting Plan on May 10th, 2011.
