[Gefn]

NEW JERSEY — Republicans and Democrats compromised on a new map setting what New Jersey's legislative districts will look like for the next 10 years, multiple sources report.

The New Jersey Legislative Apportionment Committee, an 11-member commission tasked with drawing the new boundaries, approved the new map by a 9-2 vote in Trenton on Friday, as NJ.com reported.

This commission meets once every 10 years after Census results are released. This is the first time the committee has come to a bipartisan agreement, according to NorthJersey.com.

What is changing

In North Jersey, incumbent Democrats in the 27th and 33rd districts would have to compete with one another to hold a seat in the redrawn portions, which includes Essex and Hudson counties.

Republican representatives in the 25th and 26th districts, also in North Jersey, will flip districts after the lines are re-drawn; the same will happen with Essex County Democrats in the 27th and 28th districts.

Republicans also pick up some ground in the 2nd, 4th, and 8th districts of South Jersey.
