Alabama's congressional districts

Alabama is currently divided into 7 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. After the 2010 Census, the number of Alabama's seats remained unchanged.

Since the 1973 redistricting following the 1970 United States Census, the U.S. state of Alabama has had seven congressional districts. This is three fewer districts than the historic high of ten congressional districts just prior to the 1930 Census.

List of members of the Alabaman United States House delegation, their terms, their district boundaries, and the districts' political ratings according to the CPVI. The delegation has a total of 7 members, including 6 Republicans and 1 Democrat. A special election was held to fill Alabama's 1st congressional seat after the retirement of Republican Jo Bonner on August 2, 2013 to become Chancellor of the University of Alabama System.

The redistricting in 2002 following the 1990 Census marginally strengthened the Democratic position, but has not contributed to any net changes by the parties. The biggest change in 2002 was to the 3rd District, which lost St. Clair County in exchange for part of Montgomery County, including the area around the capitol. The district's black composition rose by 7 percent as a result. However, this did not lead to an unseating of the Republican member.

The Alabama Legislature is in charge of apportionment and redistricting in Alabama. A bipartisan interim committee of 22 representatives (11 from the Alabama House of Representatives, and 11 from the Alabama Senate) is formed to develop a redistricting plan for recommendation to the legislature. The governor has veto power over both the state legislative and congressional plans.
