In 36 states, the state legislature creates and enacts the redistricting plan; many require approval by the governor for the final plan and, of course, all are subject to federal guidelines and legal challenges. Two or three states let independent bodies submit proposals, which are then voted on by the legislature. Five states use an independent of bipartisan commission to draw up new districts. Seven states have only one representative, so they have no congressional district lines to draw.
