Reapportionment occurs every 10 years, following the constitutionally-mandated US census. The last census was in 2000. Reapportionment is done on a state-by-state basis; most states redrew their maps in 2001, while Georgia and Texas (famously) redrew their maps twice, in 2001 and again in 2003 after control of the legislature had switched from the Democrats to the Republicans. The next reapportionment will be after the 2010 census; for most states this means in 2011.

∙ 10y agoIn the United States, the House of Representatives is reapportioned once every 10 years following the census.
Because changing the number of US Representatives requires redrawing the Congressional districts, the new seats are not added until the next 2-year election for the House (e.g. in 2002, 2012, 2022).
