Restoring Electoral Stability to Enhance Trust (RESET) Act of 2025
This bill limits states to redrawing congressional districts only once after each federal census, unless a court orders changes to comply with the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act. States could later adjust districts through court-ordered processes, legislative action, or statewide referendums, but not before the next census. It explicitly states the law does not affect how states conduct elections for state or local offices. The rule applies to redistricting following the 2020 census and future cycles.
