Redistricting Transparency and Accountability Act of 2025

This bill would require each state, when it redraws its congressional district maps, to follow a process that informs the public and lets people take part. The state's redistricting body would have to run a public website with maps, data files, meeting notices, video of hearings, and public comments, and hold at least three public hearings in different regions with a virtual option. At least 10 days before a final vote on a map, the body would have to post the proposed map with population, voter, election, legal, and partisan-fairness analyses, and hold a hearing at least 7 days before the vote. The rules would apply to congressional redistricting after the 2030 census, and to certain states that a court orders to redraw their 2020-census maps; they would not apply to state or local redistricting.
