Wisconsin 2022 - 2024 Districts

February 19, 2024: Gov. Tony Evers signed Senate Bill 488 into law, adopting the same state legislative maps he had proposed in 2021.

Dec. 22 2023: After the state supreme court's majority flipped to 4-3 liberal control in August, a lawsuit was filed claiming that the April 2022 state legislative district map violated the contiguity requirement for districts in the state constitution. The state Supreme Court agreed and ordered new maps to be submitted to the court from parties to the litigation by January 12.

April 15, 2022: The Wisconsin Supreme Court approved new state legislative maps submitted to the court by Republicans in lieu of the U.S. Supreme Court's previous ruling.

Mar. 23 2022: The U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision to adopt Gov. Tony Evers' state legislative maps and remanded the case after finding that the state supreme court conducted an improper/incomplete Voting Rights Act (VRA) analysis to determine if the VRA legally required a seventh Black majority legislative district to be drawn.

Mar. 3 2022: The Wisconsin Supreme Court voted to adopt Gov. Evers' congressional and state legislative map proposals. The state assembly included an additional (7th) Black majority legislative district.

Dec. 15 2021: Gov. Tony Evers (D) submitted proposals for congressional and state legislative maps to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Nov. 18 2021: Governor Tony Evers vetoed the maps and the state Supreme Court took jurisdiction (see Johnson v. WI Elections Comm.).

Nov. 11 2021: State legislature approved new legislative and congressional maps.
