State legislatures must comply with U S Constitutional requirements, as interpreted by the U S Supreme Court, to create districts of equal populations (compliance with the standard of population equality is apparently more strict for congressional districts than for state legislative districts). They must, also, comply with the U S Voting Rights Act (section 2 of which applies to all states and section 5 of which applies to eight states and parts of seven other states). They must also comply with any applicable state constitutional or other applicable legal provisions, which are not in conflict with the federal requirements.

In this connection, please note that in some states redistricting is not done by the state legislature, but by someone else, for example, an elected official, a group of elected officials, or a commission created for the purpose of redistricting.

What are rules for redistricting?

Redistricting rules vary by jurisdiction but generally aim to ensure fair representation in legislative bodies. Key principles include maintaining equal population distribution across districts (one person, one vote), respecting natural and artificial geographic boundaries, and avoiding the dilution of minority voting strength. Additionally, many states require that districts be contiguous and compact to enhance community representation. Some jurisdictions also incorporate public input and transparency in the redistricting process to mitigate gerrymandering.
