HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a series of challenges to a newly approved set of legislative maps, clearing the way for the start of a shorter-than-usual election season leading to the May 17 primary.
The court ruled that a plan including the new maps — approved by the Legislative Reapportionment Commission and using 2020 census data — did not violate the state or federal constitutions and “is not contrary to law.”
The court laid out a 11-day period for candidates for House and Senate seats to circulate nominating petitions, starting Friday.
