The Kansas Attorney General is asking the Kansas Supreme Court to approve the newly redrawn legislative district maps that were signed into law.

The Kansas constitution requires legislators to redraw all 40 Kansas Senate districts and 125 House of Representative districts to reflect population changes from the 2020 census. Legislators approved the new boundaries with large, bipartisan majorities and the governor signed into law the bill creating the new district boundaries.

AG Derek Schmidt says the new legislative district boundaries appear to satisfy all legal requirements. Schmidt will ask the Kansas Supreme Court to approve the new district boundaries as quickly as possible so candidates filing for this year's legislative elections can proceed without delay.
