The latest in Washington

Feb. 8, 2022

The Washington Legislature has approved the congressional map drawn by the state’s bipartisan redistricting commission, with a few minor tweaks. The new map is now law.

Washington’s state Supreme Court ruled Dec. 3 that the final maps approved by the commission can move forward. The commission had failed to meet a Nov. 15 deadline to redraw the state’s congressional and state legislative maps, prompting the Washington Supreme Court to take up the task, as required by state law. However, the court said that because the commission had voted to adopt the map by the constitutional deadline, and only missed the deadline to transmit the map to the state legislature by 13 minutes, it “substantially complied with the statute.”

The Washington Supreme Court adopted the Redistricting Commission's maps, holding the Commission "substantially complied with the essential purpose of [its mandate]" even though it missed its statutory deadline. The maps now move to the state legislature where they must be approved by a two-thirds vote in each chamber within the first 30 days of the next legislative session, which begins on Jan. 10, 2022.

The Washington State Redistricting Commission failed to approve new congressional and state legislative maps by the state law-mandated Nov. 15 deadline. According to state law (RCW 44.05.100), the state supreme court must now draw the maps by April 30, 2022.

The Washington State Redistricting Commission published "final" congressional and legislative maps on its website one day after the authority for adopting new maps shifted from the Commission to the state supreme court.
Who controls redistricting in Washington right now?
Neither party fully controls the congressional redistricting process. New maps are drawn and enacted by a bipartisan commission made up of citizens, but the Democratic state legislature can slightly modify the commission's map with a two-thirds vote.
