A unanimous decision has blocked new congressional districts from being used in an upcoming election. These districts were backed by a prominent political figure and had been expected to benefit one party. The ruling orders a statewide vote on whether to accept or reject the new map.

This outcome is seen as a setback for one party's efforts to gain an advantage in the election. An appeal to a higher court is planned, with the state's attorney general claiming the decision has caused a constitutional crisis. Further information on this development is available.
