“Control over drawing congressional district lines shifting temporarily back to the Virginia General Assembly is in a proposal from a Democratic state lawmaker,” The Center Square reported. “House Bill 1384, carried by Del. Luke Torian, D-Prince William, would set April 21 as the date for a statewide referendum on a proposed constitutional amendment tied to congressional redistricting.”
The proposal would allow the General Assembly to redraw Virginia’s congressional districts once before the 2030 census, even though current maps were drawn by the Virginia Supreme Court after the state’s bipartisan redistricting commission failed to reach an agreement following delays in the 2020 census. If approved by voters, the change would be temporary, with the commission resuming its role after the next census.
