The Supreme Court says Missouri will elect its eight U.S. House members on November 3 inside the 2022 district lines, not the 2025 map used in the August primary, and tells the lower federal courts not to order otherwise; it is a stay, not a ruling on the merits.
In an unsigned five-page opinion in No. 26A388, People Not Politicians v. Onder, issued September 25, 2026, the Supreme Court stayed a federal district court's September 21 and September 22 injunctions, which in effect required Missouri to use its 2025 congressional map in the November 3 general election, along with the Eighth Circuit's September 21 mandate and September 22 order. On September 3 the Missouri Supreme Court had ruled that the 2025 map 'is not the law and has never been the law' and will not take effect unless voters approve it by referendum, leaving the 2022 map in force. Citing the Purcell principle, the Court said ballots using the 2022 map 'have been printed and mailed' and that absentee, military and overseas voting has begun. It also rejected the Eighth Circuit's view that the state court caused the late change, saying the Missouri Secretary of State 'was well aware' before the August primary that using the 2025 map 'carried significant risks'. The order notes no dissent and does not decide the constitutional question. Missouri's last day to register for the November election is October 7.
