Redistricting 2022
Redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of election districts to ensure that all citizens receive equal elected representation and that every district has borders consistent with standards set by the U.S. Constitution, federal law, and state law. Redistricting is done every ten years, following the census. Redistricting takes place in several phases.
This is information primarily about county-related redistricting. Updates will be made throughout the process.
