Florida Supreme Court Allows New Congressional Map for 2026 Elections

The Florida Supreme Court has denied a petition from voting rights groups, which sought to halt the implementation of a new congressional map for the 2026 midterm elections. The court’s decision means the new map will be in effect for the upcoming elections.

Voting rights organizations had contended that the map violates the state’s Fair Districts amendment and could diminish the number of districts likely to be won by Democrats. They requested that the map’s use be paused pending a full determination of its legality.

In their ruling, the court’s majority stated that they did not possess jurisdiction to intervene at this time. One justice dissented from the majority opinion, expressing concerns over the potential for delayed judicial review and the subsequent impact on Florida voters.
