Missouri Poised for New Congressional Map in 2026

Missouri is on track to use a new congressional map in the 2026 midterm elections, setting up a fresh round of political and legal scrutiny over how the state’s districts are drawn. Any new plan would need to be formally enacted and remain in effect through Election Day to shape next year’s congressional contests.

The move would mark another significant chapter in Missouri’s redistricting process, with lawmakers and election officials facing pressure to finalize a map that can withstand potential court challenges. If approved and left intact, the new boundaries are expected to guide the state’s House races in what is likely to be a closely watched election cycle.
