The current 119th Congress service boundary and California's 2026 election boundary are not interchangeable. The map and redistricting population describe the 2026 election boundary. A connected Election Page and reviewed official press-release items may remain under review. Earlier House elections, succession history, and a comparable ACS profile for the new plan remain under review.
