The state liaison can identify and suggest that some of these features be used as 2030 census tabulation block boundaries, resulting in more meaningful tabulation block data for the state. The liaison may work with local officials, including county election officers and others, to ensure local geography is represented in the 2030 census tabulation block inventory. In addition, the liaison may make suggestions for features not desirable as census tabulation block boundaries. Beginning in early 2026, the Census Bureau plans to provide to states that choose to participate in Phase 1 the guidelines and training for providing their suggestions for the 2030 census tabulation block boundaries as well as their suggestions for exclusion of line segments for consideration in the final 2030 census tabulation block boundary inventory. States will also have the opportunity to review legal boundaries such as incorporated place, American Indian area, and county boundaries, in coordination with the annual Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) program. Incorporating the opportunity for states to review legal boundaries was successfully implemented for the first time in the 2020 RDP and proved valuable as these legal boundaries also become census tabulation block boundaries. The Census Bureau plans to process all tabulation block boundary suggestions and provide state liaisons the opportunity to verify them in early 2027. Phase 2: Voting District Project (VTDP) In late 2027, the Census Bureau plans to formally announce the commencement of Phase 2: Voting District Project (VTDP) through a Federal Register notice. The VTDP will provide the state liaisons the opportunity to submit and verify their voting districts (a generic term used to represent areas that administer elections such as precincts, election districts, and wards) to the Census Bureau for inclusion in the 2030 Census Redistricting Data (Pub. L. 94–171) products (tabulated data and geographic products). Beginning in early 2028, the Census Bureau plans to begin the initial voting district update cycle, providing to states that choose to participate guidelines and training for submitting their voting district boundaries. The Census Bureau will process the updates and provide states two opportunities to verify the updates were processed correctly. The first verification cycle is planned for early 2029. The second verification cycle, planned for early 2030, will only be available to states that participated in VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:00 Jul 08, 2024 Jkt 262001 the initial update cycle or the first verification cycle. State liaisons will also continue to have the opportunity to make census tabulation block boundary suggestions and to review legal boundaries such as incorporated place, American Indian area, and county boundaries in coordination with the annual BAS during the initial update cycle and the first verification cycle. Phase 3: Delivery of the 2030 Census Redistricting Data In accordance with 13 U.S.C. 141(c), the Director will furnish the Governor, state legislative leaders of both the majority and minority parties, and any other sitting ‘‘officers or public bodies having initial responsibility for the legislative apportionment or districting of each state’’ with 2030 Census population counts for standard census tabulation areas (e.g., state, congressional district, state legislative district, American Indian area, county, city, town, census tract, census block group, and census tabulation block) regardless of whether or not a state participates in Phases 1 or 2. The Director will also provide 2030 Census population counts for voting districts to any state that participated in Phase 2. Delivery is expected to occur prior to or alongside the public release of the 2030 Census Redistricting Data (Pub. L. 94– 171) Summary File, no later than April 1, 2031. Phase 4: Collection of Post-2030 Census Congressional and State Legislative District Plans Beginning in 2031, the Census Bureau plans to solicit from each state the newly drawn legislative and congressional district plans based on the 2030 census results and compile population, housing and other data for those new districts. This effort is expected to occur every two years in advance of the 2040 Census in order to update these district boundaries with new or changed plans. A verification phase is planned to occur with each two-year update cycle. Phase 5: Review of the 2030 Census Redistricting Data Program and Recommendations for the 2040 Census Redistricting Data Program As the final phase of the 2030 Census Redistricting Data Program, the Census Bureau will work with the states to conduct a thorough review of the program. The intent of this review, and the final report that results, is to provide guidance to the Secretary and the Director in planning the 2040 Census Redistricting Data Program.
