Illinois redistricting

The U.S. Census Bureau announced in April that Illinois is one of seven states to lose a congressional seat in the once-a-decade reapportionment process. That process could ax one of the districts in the Metro East.

For the first time in more than 200 years, Illinois’ population declined over the last decade, according to new 2020 U.S. Census results released Monday.

Residents from central and southwestern Illinois expressed concerns about how legislative maps will be redrawn this year.

A delay in U.S. Census data required to complete redistricting is creating discussion about whether Missouri may need to move its candidate filing period for the August 2022 primary.
