Mid-decade redistricting ban

A wave of mid-decade redistricting efforts in other states is shaping the political environment heading into 2027, but Kentucky attempted no redraw because Section 33 of the Kentucky Constitution bars mid-decade congressional redistricting. That guardrail has sparked debate over whether Kentucky should keep its constitutional ban, loosen it, or adopt a different map-drawing process — a question that shapes how Warren County is represented in Congress.

Positions on this issue  ·  liberal → conservative
  1. Keep the mid-decade ban and create an independent commission to take politics out of map-drawing.
  2. Keep the constitutional ban; redrawing maps mid-decade is a partisan power grab.
  3. Keep the ban but allow narrow court-ordered or census-error corrections between cycles.
  4. Let the General Assembly redraw lines mid-decade when it believes the current maps are unfair.
  5. Repeal the ban so the legislature can adjust congressional maps whenever it chooses.
