Redistricting

The Kentucky Supreme Court ruled Thursday the electoral maps Republicans drew in 2022 do not violate the state’s constitution, upholding a lower court’s decision.

A court ruled against Democrats’ challenge to new political maps drawn by Kentucky’s Republican-led Legislature on Tuesday.

Here are the congressional races on the ballot in the Kentucky primary election scheduled for May 17, 2022.

Republican lawmakers have overridden Gov. Beshear’s vetoes of redistricting maps and the Ky. Democratic Party is suing to block the plans.

Though Beshear’s vetoes will likely be overridden by the legislature, the maps could be ripe for a legal challenge once they become law.

GOP leaders of the state House of Representatives have unveiled what legislative districts will likely look like over the next decade.

New districts go into effect on Jan. 1

Republican lawmakers plan to quickly pass new political maps during the upcoming legislative session, giving the public just about a week to see exactly what Kentucky’s state House, state Senate and congressional districts will look like before they are adopted.

Republican legislators are privately drawing new political maps for Kentucky with hopes of quickly passing them into law early next year.

With the state losing a congressional seat due to population loss, they're certain to eliminate a district in heavily Republican areas of central and southern Illinois, where most of the losses occurred.
