The Save American Democracy Act would prohibit states from redrawing congressional district lines more than once per decade following the national census, with limited exceptions. States could only conduct a second redistricting if required by a court order to comply with the U.S. Constitution, the Voting Rights Act, or state law, or if state legislation explicitly mandates it. The bill aims to prevent the practice of mid-decade redistricting, which some argue is used for partisan advantage. Introduced by Texas Democrats in October 2025, the legislation applies to redistributing that occurs after the 2020 census and does not affect state or local elections. No specific funding is allocated, as the bill primarily restricts state actions rather than creating new federal programs.
