How Can Members of The Public Get Involved With Redistricting?

Help Identify Communities of Interest that Should be Included within your District to Ensure Fair Representation.

Members of the public are encouraged to provide input to the Board of Supervisors regarding their communities of interest and their thoughts and recommendations for new district boundaries. In addition, members of the public may develop and submit their own redrawn district maps for consideration by Board. The Board encourages members of the public to consider legal requirements and traditional districting principles when providing input or submitting their own redrawn district plans for consideration. (see the References Page for more information)
