To limit the redistricting that States may do after an apportionment of Representatives.

H.R. 830 seeks to limit how often states can redraw their congressional district boundaries. Under this bill, once a state completes its redistricting process following the decennial census, it would be prohibited from redistricting again until after the next census ten years later. The only exceptions would be if a federal court orders a map to be redrawn to comply with the U.S. Constitution or to enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

For citizens, this legislation is designed to prevent "mid-decade redistricting," a practice where state legislatures redraw maps multiple times between censuses for political reasons. By restricting redistricting to once every ten years, the bill aims to provide voters with more stable and predictable representation. This would ensure that the boundaries of a congressional district remain consistent for a full decade unless a legal violation requires a correction.
