The Pennsylvania Legislative Reapportionment Commission approved the final redistricting plan on June 8, 2012. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck down the initial maps on January 25, 2012, and ruled that the 2012 elections would be administered using the maps drawn in the 2000 redistricting cycle. The new maps did not go into effect until the 2014 elections.[3]
