Use this interactive map to compare Virginia's current congressional districts with the new 2026/2028 boundaries and see if your local lines have changed.
To map this mid-decade redistricting comparison, raw electoral shapefiles for both the current 119th congressional districts and the new 2026/2028 boundaries were sourced directly from the Virginia Division of Legislative Services. The data polygons were processed using GIS and rendered as a simultaneous, clickable overlay on top of physical shaded relief to illustrate how the newly drawn political borders intersect with the state's natural terrain.
Following the April 21, 2026 statewide referendum, Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing the General Assembly to adopt a new congressional map. This mid-decade redistricting is projected to shift the partisan balance, potentially adding up to four districts for Democrats (targeting a 10–1 split based on recent voting trends).

Virginia has emerged as a closely watched political battleground in recent election cycles, with shifting voter priorities and high-stakes policy debates shaping statewide and congressional races.
Concerns about the integrity of democratic institutions are currently the single most powerful motivator for Virginia voters. Polling shows that “maintaining democracy and civility” outweighs all other issues, including the economy. At the same time, a fierce legal and political battle over congressional redistricting—centered on whether new maps unfairly advantage one party—has intensified voter anxiety about fairness, representation, and constitutional norms. This issue is especially potent because it directly affects control of the U.S. House and has become a proxy for broader national political tensions.
While no longer the top issue, economic pressure remains a major driver of voter behavior. Inflation, housing affordability, and job stability—particularly in regions dependent on federal employment—continue to shape campaign messaging. Rising everyday costs, including housing and utilities, are a persistent concern for both suburban and rural voters, keeping economic policy central to electoral debates even as other issues gain prominence.
Virginia is a national hub for data centers, and backlash against their rapid expansion is becoming a defining local issue. Residents are increasingly concerned about land use, water consumption, noise, and strain on the electrical grid, as well as tax incentives granted to large tech companies. Once seen as economic drivers, these projects are now facing bipartisan skepticism, with some communities mobilizing strongly against further development.
Healthcare remains a steady concern, particularly around affordability, insurance coverage, and access in rural areas. While not always the headline issue, it consistently ranks among top-tier voter priorities. Debates over public health funding, insurance markets, and access to specialized care continue to influence both statewide and legislative races.
Immigration policy plays a secondary but still significant role in Virginia politics. It tends to be more salient in certain regions and among specific voter blocs, often tied to broader concerns about public safety and economic competition. While it does not dominate statewide priorities, it remains a recurring campaign issue and a point of contrast between candidates.
The 119th U.S. Congress convened on and runs through January 2027. It follows the November 5, 2024 federal elections. Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House, and the Senate flipped to a Republican majority for this term.
