The 1960 United States redistricting cycle took place following the completion of the 1960 United States census. In all fifty states, various bodies re-drew state legislative and congressional districts. States that are apportioned more than one seat in the United States House of Representatives also drew new districts for that legislative body. Following the 1960 United States elections, control of redistricting was split between Democrats and Republicans in 17 states. The resulting new districts were first implemented for the 1962 elections. It was the last redistricting cycle prior to the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the enactment of decisions by the Supreme Court which reformed redistricting practices prior to the 1970 census and redistricting cycle.
