New congressional maps are still possible in Alabama and Louisiana, while South Carolina will use its existing congressional map again this year.
After new congressional maps took effect in Florida and Tennessee earlier this month, 2026 redistricting pursuits are a wrap in all but a few states. A panel of federal judges blocked Alabama's 2023 Legislature-drawn congressional map after the Supreme Court vacated previous injunctions against it, and Alabama made an emergency appeal back to the Court. Louisiana's Legislature is still working toward a new map ahead of a June 1 deadline. South Carolina's Senate adjourned a special redistricting session without passing a new map.
On May 11, the Supreme Court vacated lower court injunctions that had blocked Alabama from using a congressional map the Legislature drew in 2023 and remanded the case for reconsideration in light of the Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais. On remand, the three-judge federal district court enjoined Alabama from using its 2023 map, writing that it was “tainted by intentional race-based discrimination.” The state appealed the following day, and Justice Clarence Thomas ordered plaintiffs to respond by June 1 at 4 p.m.
