Bill > HR4358

This bill, known as the "Anti-Rigging Act of 2025," aims to limit the frequency of Congressional redistricting by preventing states from redrawing Congressional district boundaries more than once between decennial censuses (which occur every 10 years). The bill asserts Congress's constitutional authority to regulate Congressional elections based on Article I, Section 4 and the 14th Amendment. Specifically, it amends existing law to prohibit a state from redistricting again after an initial redistricting following a census, with an exception that allows additional redistricting only if required by a court to comply with the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act. The bill explicitly clarifies that these restrictions apply only to Congressional districts and do not impact state or local election district boundaries. The provisions will take effect for any Congressional redistricting that occurs after the 2020 census, effectively preventing states from manipulating district boundaries multiple times between census periods. The goal appears to be preventing potential gerrymandering and ensuring more stable electoral districts between official population counts.
