Redistricting
State of Louisiana


Redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundary lines of the districts from which public officials are elected and typically follows the release of each federal decennial census. By law, the legislature is responsible for redistricting the district boundaries in Louisiana for the state legislature, the U.S. House of Representatives, the state Supreme Court and other state courts, the Public Service Commission (PSC), and the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE). If you wish to submit a redistricting plan for consideration, please review the redistricting criteria.

ABOUT THE CENSUS  

      As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, our nation gets just one chance each decade to count its population. The U.S. census counts every resident in the United States. It is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and takes place every 10 years. The data collected by the census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives (a process called apportionment) and is also used to distribute billions in federal funds to local communities. The 2020 census requires counting an increasingly diverse and growing population of around 330 million people in more than 140 million housing units.
