Ohio lawmakers will soon try to redraw the state's congressional district maps

The current Ohio congressional maps expire early after lacking super-majority approval in 2022, requiring bipartisan support for new maps by October deadlines.

  • Ohio lawmakers are required to redraw the state's 15 congressional district maps with a first deadline at the end of September 2025.
  • This process follows legal mandates and political pressure after prior maps failed bipartisan support and the U.S. Supreme Court vacated an earlier Ohio ruling.
  • Democrats have proposed a map aiming for seven competitive districts leaning slightly left, while Republicans seek to maintain or expand their current 10-5 seat advantage.
  • House Minority Leader Dani Isaacsohn emphasized that the selection of elected representatives should be determined by the voters rather than manipulated by politicians, while Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio highlighted the urgency of finalizing the new congressional map.
  • If the legislature fails to pass a map by September, the Ohio Redistricting Commission must adopt one by October 30, raising the possibility of continued legal challenges and political conflict.
