In April of 2026 voters approved a constitutional amendment to allow for mid-decade redistricting and to instate a map that would have likely given Democrats 10 of Virginia's 11 seats in the House of Representatives.[2] However, on May 8th, the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled the referendum vote null and void stating the General Assembly "violated the intervening-election requirement in Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia."[3] As a result, the 2021 Special Masters map remained in effect for the 2026 midterms. Following the ruling, House Speaker Don Scott and Attorney General Jay Jones filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States and filed a motion requesting the state Supreme Court to pause its ruling from taking effect while the appeal plays out.[4]
