Wisconsin is currently divided into 8 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. After the 2020 census, the number of Wisconsin's seats remained unchanged.
Wisconsin’s congressional districts are an example of partisan gerrymandering, in this case in favour of the Republican Party.[1]
