Election Law and Redistricting
Stakeholders across the electoral process—voters, elected officials, political parties, election administrators, independent redistricting commissions, and civil-rights organizations—face ever-shifting election laws as fundamental tenets of democracy are being challenged. Nationally recognized as one of the leading election law and redistricting practices in the United States, Jenner & Block steers clients through the intricacies of the political landscape, helping to preserve and strengthen American democracy. At our core is a commitment to free elections, fair and equitable districting maps, and a government that truly reflects the will of the people.
Trusted in Landmark Cases
For decades, we have successfully handled landmark election law and redistricting cases in federal and state courts across the nation, including the US Supreme Court. We have represented clients either on the merits or as amici in nearly every major Supreme Court case involving voting rights and election law over the past quarter century. Our experience includes arguing before the Court in support of the Voting Rights Act in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee (2021), successfully defending the lower court’s finding of racial gerrymandering in North Carolina v. Covington (2018), and obtaining a ruling upholding the maps of an independent redistricting commission in Harris v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (2015). We have also successfully represented clients in the federal courts of appeals in cases involving challenges under the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act, and the Census Act. We work closely with our top-tier Appellate and Supreme Court practice to craft innovative legal arguments that are tailored to the courts before which we appear.
Exceptional Experience with Redistricting
The team has immense experience advising on and litigating pivotal redistricting cases. We have successfully handled redistricting and redistricting-related litigation in more than half the states. In the most recent round of redistricting, we obtained landmark rulings in support of fair maps. Well-versed in nonpartisan and bipartisan commission procedures, we have decades of experience in both congressional and state legislative redistricting. Keenly attuned to technology's growing impact on redistricting, we are positioned at the forefront of these developments, with more experience in this area than any other firm.
Representing Diverse Interests
Our election law work encompasses a wide array of forums and interests. Officeholders and voting rights organizations have repeatedly turned to us because of our long record of success at state and federal levels in protecting the tenets of the Voting Rights Act. We have also handled election contest proceedings, advised on campaign finance changes, and successfully represented clients before both the Federal Elections Commission and the Election Assistance Commission. In all cases, our team tailors effective strategies to meet political realities.
