Mid-decade congressional redistricting
A wave of mid-decade redistricting efforts is reshaping the national political environment heading into 2027, but Kentucky attempted no redraw because Section 33 of the Kentucky Constitution bars mid-decade congressional redistricting. That leaves the state's map, and the districts Nelson County voters cast ballots in, locked in until the next census cycle even as other states redraw.
