October 25, 2023: The North Carolina legislature enacted new congressional and legislative maps following the North Carolina Supreme Court's decision in April 2023.

Jun. 27 2023: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state legislatures remain bound by state constitutional restraints when exercising authority under the Elections Clause. Thus, the state supreme court had the authority to decide whether North Carolina's congressional district boundaries complied with state law. The opinion rejected the independent state legislature theory offered by appellants.

April 28, 2023: Following a rehearing in March 2023, a reconstituted North Carolina Supreme Court overturned its February 4, 2022, decision that the state's 2021 congressional and legislative maps were unconstitutional due to partisan gerrymandering. The court had changed from a 4-3 Democratic majority to a 5-2 Republican majority after the 2022 mid-term elections.

February 3, 2023: The North Carolina Supreme Court voted to re-hear the partisan gerrymandering case on March 14, 2023 after the legislature petitioned the court to rehear Moore v. Harper Jan. 20, 2023.

Dec. 7 2022: The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the consolidated cases of Moore v. Harper and Moore v. North Carolina League of Conservation Voters Inc.

Mar. 17 2022: Legislative and state officials filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court.

Feb. 23 2022: A state trial court approved the legislature's state senate and house maps but rejected the congressional map due to noncompliance with the state Supreme Court's standards per its Feb. 14 order. The trial court adopted the special master's congressional map instead.

Feb. 17 2022: The legislature adopted new congressional and state legislative plans.

Feb. 4 2022: The North Carolina Supreme Court reversed the trial court's Jan 11th decision upholding new congressional and state legislative maps. The court declared the maps a partisan gerrymander under the state constitution.

Jan. 11 2022: A state trial court upheld the legislature's congressional, state Senate, and House district maps against partisan and racial gerrymandering claims.

Dec. 8 2021: The state Supreme Court ordered the state's 2022 primary election be postponed from March 8 to May 17 due to ongoing lawsuits. (see the case library)

Nov. 4, 2021: The legislature enacts congressional, state senate, and house maps.

Oct. 22, 2021: House redistricting committee releases draft map proposals.

Oct. 20, 2021: Senate redistricting committee releases draft map proposals

Aug 12 2021: Redistricting Criteria is adopted by Senate Redistricting and Elections Committee and House Committee on Redistricting
