Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does this mean for voters?

The 2018 Remedial Congressional Plan only changes the congressional districts for the upcoming election. Otherwise, you’ll still vote in the same location. Your polling place did not move with the recent congressional district changes.

Q: Who is my current representative?

Your current representative in Congress will remain the same until a new representative has been elected in the 2018 November Election and begins their term in January 2019.

Q: How can I find out what district I’m in now?

Under the new map, a majority of counties lie fully within a single congressional district, so voters in those counties can find that information on the county list located below.

In counties that are split, the interactive map below will be sufficient for many voters to identify their district.

Voters who are unsure of their congressional district, or if they live in a split municipality or ward, should call their county election office to check their new district by residential address.

Q: What does this mean for the Primary election on May 15?

When you vote in the primary election on May 15, 2018, you will be voting for a party candidate in your new congressional district. You can explore the new districts by county, by district number, and/or via a Google map.

Q: Does the redistricting affect other representatives and elected officials, like the State House, State Senate, City Council, etc.)?

No. The Remedial Congressional Redistricting only changes the district numbers and borders for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Q: How is the November general election affected?

The only difference is the change in congressional district boundaries. Voters will choose their new congressional representative in November based on the boundaries of the Remedial Congressional maps. Otherwise, the election will not change. You can explore the new districts by county, by district number, and/or via a Google map.
