Census and Apportionment Announcement

From RollCall

The U.S. Census Bureau will release the new Congressional apportionment figures at a Dec. 21 news conference at the National Press Club, making official the number of Congressional districts each state will have for the next 10 years.

The new figures will be based on the populations of each state as found in the 2010 census. Population changes affect not only the size of each state’s delegation but also its number of electoral votes.
