North Carolina enacted new congressional and legislative districts on Feb. 23, 2022, after the Wake County Superior Court approved legislative maps that the General Assembly approved on Feb. 16 and 17. The court also adopted a new congressional map proposed by a panel of court-appointed special masters.
North Carolina was apportioned 14 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2020 census, one more than it received after the 2010 census. The congressional and legislative maps will take effect for North Carolina’s 2022 elections.
The North Carolina Supreme Court previously struck down legislatively-approved maps, first enacted on Nov. 2, on Feb. 4. The court ordered the Assembly to redraw the maps by Feb. 18.
