By a slim margin, Virginians voted in April to approve a referendum that allowed for a special redistricting process. The referendum was sparked by a partisan redistricting process kicked off by Texas and picked up by other largely Republican states, before some Democratic states joined. However, after a bitter fight and a narrow victory for Democrats, who largely favored redistricting, the Supreme Court of Virginia voided the referendum results on procedural grounds, leaving the state's districts unchanged.
