October 2023 Group Watch: Federal Court Makes Final Selection for AL’s 2024 Congressional Districts
A panel of federal judges has made a final decision on which of the three maps Alabama will have to use in its upcoming 2024 congressional district races. The judges selected remedial plan No. 3, which features a Black voting age population in District 2 that is 48.7 percent and a Black voting age population in District 7, currently the only majority minority district in the state, at 51.9 percent. Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen issued a statement saying his office will facilitate the 2024 election cycle in accordance with the court’s order, and keep the state’s elections safe, secure and transparent. The map selected by the court was supported by the National Redistricting Foundation.
