Supreme Court 2025-26 term takes up redistricting, party spending limits, and mail ballot deadlines

The Supreme Court's 2025-26 term includes three major election law cases: the consolidated VRA redistricting challenge, a case on whether limits on political party coordinated expenditures are constitutional, and a dispute over states' authority to set mail ballot receipt deadlines. Together the cases represent the most consequential election law docket since Bush v. Gore in 2000. Rulings could reshape how campaigns are funded, how districts are drawn, and who can vote.
