New electoral maps take effect Jan. 18

by | Jan 13, 2022 | Latest

Following the 2020 Census, the Texas Legislature completed the important task of redrawing the electoral maps to be used over the next decade.

Three new laws are set to take effect Jan. 18 following their approval during the 87th Legislature. House Bill 1, which sets the boundaries for Texas House of Representatives districts; Senate Bill 4, which lays out the districts for the Texas Senate; and Senate Bill 6, which redraws the barriers of U.S. House of Representatives districts in the state, all address the required redistricting following the U.S. Census.
