End Prison Gerrymandering Act
HR 7375, the End Prison Gerrymandering Act, changes how incarcerated individuals are counted in the U.S. Census starting with the 2030 census. It requires the Census Bureau to count people in prison at their last known residence before incarceration, rather than at the prison location. This directly affects incarcerated individuals and their home communities, ensuring these communities are accurately represented in congressional redistricting. States must then use this home address data when drawing congressional districts, preventing prison populations from artificially inflating representation in rural areas where prisons are often located.
