The Redistricting Transparency and Accountability Act of 2025 requires states to conduct congressional redistricting through a transparent, public-participation process. States must establish and maintain public websites that provide redistricting information, maps, demographic data, and meeting schedules; hold multiple public hearings in different regions before and after developing proposed maps; and provide detailed analyses of final plans—including voting rights compliance, partisan fairness assessments, and explanations for adoption decisions—at least 10 days before voting on them. The bill mandates that states solicit public input for at least 60 days after receiving census apportionment numbers, post all comments within 72 hours, and preserve all redistricting information for 10 years. The law applies to redistricting conducted after the 2030 census but also covers ongoing 2020 census redistricting in states that have not yet enacted final plans. No specific funding is provided, though states must implement these administrative requirements, and the law does not affect state or local election redistricting.
