Redistricting

What is Redistricting and Reapportionment?

After each decennial Census, the Legislature and certain local jurisdictions redraw districts from which Florida voters elect members of the U.S. House of Representatives, state senators, state representatives, county commissioners, school board members and applicable municipalities.

Redistricting is the redrawing of these districts to adjust for uneven growth rates in different parts of the state. Districts determine which voters participate in which elections.

Reapportionment is the redistribution of seats in the United States House of Representatives among the 50 states, based on the decennial census. Each state gets at least one seat. Effective with elections in 2022, Florida gets 28 representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives, an increase of one from last decade. Two U.S. Senators represent the entire state.

The Reapportionment Process flowchart shows the process for approving new state house and senate districts (See Article III, Section 16 of the Florida Constitution). It also indicates the paths followed dating back to 1972. The process is different for congressional districts, which are set by act of the Legislature and approved by the Governor (there is no mandatory review by the Florida Supreme Court).
