Virginia's Constitution requires several steps before it can be changed.
A judge in southwest Virginia says the state's Democrats didn't follow the right legal or legislative steps for it to be before voters.
Democrats are still aiming to put it to a vote in April, in time for new congressional districts to be drawn before the 2026 midterms.
Party leaders in the legislature say in a statement the court case was an attempt to sow confusion and they won't be deterred.
But Republicans are calling this ruling a decisive victory.
Virginia's current congressional delegation has six Democrats and five Republicans.
Democrats could seek a 10-1 majority.

The University of Virginia has been caught up in the battle over higher education with the Trump administration on one side and Virginia Democrats on the other.
Its president resigned after what he called a pressure campaign, and Democratic legislators refused to confirm a number of former Governor Glenn Youngkin's appointments.
Three members of its governing board resigned Friday evening, just before a new governor, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, took office.
She had signaled she wanted a course change weeks after her election, and she did, appointing a majority of new members the same day she took office.
Spanberger also is ordering a review of how university boards are appointed.
She issued an executive order on the topic just after her swearing-in on Saturday.

Spanberger's presence on the stage was a major departure from the 74 men that had been governors before her.
Virginia's economy is closely tied with that of the federal government, and tens of thousands of federal workers have lost their jobs recently.
Spanberger took note.
Spanberger comes into office with Democrats in control of the legislature, too.
