Missouri enacted new congressional district boundaries on May 18 when Gov. Mike Parson (R) signed them into law. Missouri was apportioned eight seats in the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2020 census, the same number it received after the 2010 census. This map will take effect for Missouri’s 2022 congressional elections.
The Missouri House of Representatives approved the final version of the new congressional districts—HB 2909—on May 9 by a vote of 101-47. Eighty-six Republicans and 15 Democrats approved the new map and 28 Democrats and 19 Republicans voted against it. The state Senate approved the redistricting legislation on May 11 by a vote of 22-11. Sixteen Republicans and six Democrats voted to approve the new map and seven Republicans and four Democrats voted against.
According to Rudi Keller of the Missouri Independent, “No change in the partisan makeup of the Missouri delegation, currently six Republicans and two Democrats, is expected as a result of the map.”
