Every 10 years, states are required to redraw their legislative districts based on the most recent federal Census data. The redistricting process requires the General Assembly to follow a very specific, very technical set of guidelines outlined in state and federal law. There are numerous criteria each district must meet, including containing a relatively similar population size and meeting guidelines concerning contiguity, compactness, communities of interest, and observing natural or political boundaries wherever possible, all while maintaining majority-minority districts.
