The Reapportionment Act of 2021 (Pub.L 66–45) was an apportionment bill passed by the Parliament of Sierra on March 2, 2021. The law raised the number of members of the House of Commons from 276 to 326 (an increase of 50 seats), to be effective on March 6, 2021 with the admission of 8 new PSAs (Cancún, the Channel Islands, Mérida, New Oneida, Pacífico Norte, Pacífico Sur, South Sonora, and Sweetwater). It also raised the number of members in the Senate from 125 to 155 (an increase of 30 total seats, with 16 new regular seats, 8 new commissioned seats, and 6 new leveraged seats). It also included a provision to preserve the redistricted geography used during the 2020 election that was based on the 2020 Sierran census until the next census in 2030 for the veteran PSAs.
