Welcome to Florida Redistricting 2022

VISIT SITE HERE

This joint website was created by the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate to provide access to information about the 2022 redistricting cycle. The site also provides free, public access to the same redistricting data and map-drawing application used by the Legislature, as well as information about opportunities for public engagement.

The Florida Constitution directs the Legislature to redraw district boundaries at its Regular Session in the second year following each decennial census. Before and during the 2022 Regular Session, which began on January 11, 2022, the Legislature held interim committee meetings, at which time the committees met to workshop draft plans and to receive feedback from members and the public regarding the redistricting process.

On February 3, 2022, the Florida Legislature passed CS/SJR 100, which contains state house (H000H8013) and state senate (S027S8058) districts for the qualification, nomination, and election of members of the Florida Legislature in the primary and general elections held in 2022 and thereafter.

On March 3, 2022, the Florida Supreme Court deemed the state house and state senate maps valid pursuant to their constitutional review. 

On March 4, 2022, the Florida Legislature passed CS/SB 102, which contains the congressional districts (H000C8019) to serve for the qualification, nomination, and election of members to the U.S. House of Representatives in the primary and general elections held in 2022 and thereafter. The bill contains a secondary map (H000C8015) to become effective should Congressional District 5 of the primary map be invalidated. 

Having concluded the process of redrawing legislative and congressional districts, submissions of redistricting plans will no longer be accepted.

Though the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the U.S. Census Bureau’s delivery of population and demographic data, the Florida Legislature completed its redistricting process within its required timeframe, inclusive of committee stops, public input opportunities, and time for discussion and debate in each of the legislative chambers.
