Case Information

A state challenge seeking to prevent an Apr. 21 election on a state constituti0nal amendment permitting mid-decade gerrymandering, alleging that the legislature has not yet properly passed the proposed amendment in two appropriate legislative sessions.

On Feb. 19, 2026, the trial court issued an order prohibiting the holding of the Apr. 21 vote on the constitutional amendment; on Mar. 4, 2026, the state supreme court stayed that order, allowing the vote to proceed.

On Apr. 22, 2026, the trial court voided the Apr. 21 election.  That order has been appealed to the state supreme court.
