Make It Count Act

HR 7167 (Make It Count Act) requires the 2030 decennial census to include a citizenship status checkbox (citizen, U.S. national, lawful resident, or undocumented) and mandates that noncitizens be excluded from population counts used to apportion congressional seats and allocate electoral votes. Starting with the 2030 census, states would use adjusted population figures (excluding noncitizens) for redistricting congressional districts. The bill also restricts states from redrawing congressional districts more than once between censuses unless required by court orders under voting rights laws. These changes apply to the 2030 census and subsequent redistricting cycles.
