Who draws the boundary lines for the House of Representatives?

The boundary lines for the House of Representatives, known as congressional districts, are drawn by state legislatures in most states. This process typically occurs every ten years after the decennial census, allowing states to adjust district boundaries based on population changes. However, some states use independent commissions to draw these lines in an effort to reduce gerrymandering and ensure fair representation. The specific methods and rules for redistricting can vary significantly from state to state.
