Virginia voters narrowly approved a redistricting referendum on April 21, 2026, by a margin of roughly 51% to 49%, authorizing the Democratic-controlled legislature to redraw the state's congressional map from the current 6-5 Democratic split to a projected 10-1 advantage. The vote represents the largest single-state shift in the ongoing national mid-decade redistricting war and, combined with California's earlier remapping, gives Democrats a net edge in the partisan map battle heading into the November 2026 midterms — though pending legal challenges and the uncertain political environment could limit the actual seat gains.
