Since the latest redistricting, in 2021 — triggered as usual by the constitutionally mandated decennial census — the map crafted by the commission has survived legal and political challenges, and the current districts are set to be in place through the next round of redistricting in 2031.

Some states have taken serious steps to do that by enacting laws that require commissions to redraw the lines after the decennial census, or by using computer models.
