Kentucky's congressional districts

Kentucky is currently divided into six congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. The number of congressional districts has been set at six since the 1990 redistricting cycle.

Current districts and representatives edit

This is a list of members of the current Kentuckian House delegation, their terms, their district boundaries, and the district political ratings according to the Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI). The delegation has a total of six members, including five Republicans and one Democrat.

In 2023, Kentucky's Supreme Court upheld Republican-drawn boundaries for the state's congressional districts, finding that while the map represented a partisan gerrymander by the Republican-controlled legislature, the state's constitution does not "explicitly forbid"’ the advancement of partisan interests through redistricting.[1]
