Redraw the map on redistricting.

We are proud to shed the light on redistricting. Now that states across the U.S. are completing the redistricting process, we’re busy crunching the numbers on new districts that go into effect after the upcoming elections. What will the new districts look like? Will they be more or less compact? We’ll release an addendum to our gerrymandering white paper in the summer of 2012, providing a wrap-up of the redistricting results for congress and the state legislatures. In the meantime, you can continue to browse the districts currently in effect on our website.

All politics is local. How compact is your home district? How does it compare to others? Search for a Congressional, state or local legislative district using an address or legislator’s name.

Take a look at the least compact districts in the country. Some of these shapes give Elbridge Gerry’s iconic salamander a run for its money.
