The Representation Act aims to prevent states from dividing documented communities of interest into multiple congressional districts.

The Representation Act mandates that states identify and document communities of interest before conducting congressional redistricting. These communities are defined as populations with shared cultural, historical, economic, or social characteristics. The act prohibits states from dividing these documented communities into multiple districts unless necessary to preserve another community of interest, ensure equal populations, comply with the Voting Rights Act, or for other specified reasons. Individuals can challenge the division of their documented community of interest in federal court.
