A three-judge panel overseeing two federal redistricting lawsuits in North Carolina is seeking information on how the state's new congressional map affects their cases.
The judges have requested that parties in the two suits file written briefs next week to provide insight into the impact of the new map.
The lawsuits originally challenged the congressional map used in the 2024 election cycle, but lawmakers have since approved a new map set to take effect in 2026.
One of the lawsuits also challenged maps for state House and Senate elections.
No further information is available due to access restrictions.
