PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania has new state House and Senate maps.
The districts are redrawn every 10 years to reflect population changes, and new boundaries were approved Friday by a five-member commission. Those maps now become official until the next decennial redistricting after the 2030 census — though Friday’s vote did kick off a 30-day window in which anyone can file appeals with the state Supreme Court.
Pennsylvania has 50 Senate districts and 203 House districts. How they are drawn — including which voters from each party, racial and ethnic communities, and local economic, social, and cultural interests are grouped together or divided — will help determine control of the legislature, and shape political power and representation for a decade.
