Make It Count Act requires a citizenship question on the census, modifies apportionment, and limits congressional redistricting.
The Make It Count Act mandates a citizenship question on the decennial census, requiring the Secretary to report the number of persons per state categorized by citizenship status. It modifies the apportionment of Representatives to be based on U.S. citizens instead of all persons. Additionally, it prohibits states from conducting more than one congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment, effective after the November 2024 election. The Act also includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part is found unconstitutional, the rest remains in effect.
