Indiana state lawmakers to convene Dec. 1 to begin redistricting conversations
Lawmakers aim to save taxpayer dollars by addressing redistricting and tax compliance during December as part of the regular 2026 legislative session, avoiding special session costs.
- Indiana lawmakers will meet Dec. 1 through Dec. 12, 2025, at the Statehouse to address redistricting and tax compliance during the 2026 regular legislative session, leaders said.
- To reduce taxpayer costs, Bray said `Making this shift allows the legislature to consider the topics presented to us in a thoughtful way without burdening Hoosier taxpayers with the cost of a special session`.
- Recent comments highlight a partisan divide as a Senate spokeswoman said the Senate lacks votes for new maps while a House spokeswoman said the House does have votes, and mid-decade redistricting is unusual after 2021 left seven Republican-held seats of nine.
- Standing Senate committees may meet whenever the Senate is in session, and leaders said they will explore ways to offset session-related costs during the regular session starting Jan. 13, 2026.
- National pressure helps explain why President Donald Trump and national Republicans pushed Indiana to redraw maps, while the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus held a Statehouse rally opposing plans targeting the two most diverse districts.
