caption_attribution_description: English: This is the new map of the U.S. House districts in North Carolina for the 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections. The United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina forced redistricting after the previous 2012-2014 map was ruled unconstitutional.
context_page_description: Congressional districts in the United States are electoral divisions for electing members of the United States House of Representatives. There are now 435 voting seats in the House of Representatives. Each seat represents around 711,000 people. There have been 435 voting seats since 1913, except for a temporary increase to 437 after the admissions of Alaska and Hawaii. The total number of state members is capped by the Reapportionment Act of 1929. Also, each of the five inhabited U.S. territories and the federal district of Washington, D.C. sends a non-voting delegate to the House of Representatives.
  The Bureau of the Census counts the number of people in the United States every ten years. This is called the decennial census. The numbers from the Census are used to figure out how many representavies each state gets. This is called "apportionment". The 2012 elections were the first to be based on the congressional districts which were defined based on the 2010 United States Census.
  Each state is in charge of the redistricting of districts within their state, and several states have one "at-large" division.
