Name: Georgetown County Redistricting Community Public Input MeetingDate: January 24, 2022Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM ESTEvent Description:General Overview
Every 10 years, federal, state and local district lines are redrawn
based on the most recent census data. These lines determine
who can run to represent us in elections at all levels. District lines
should be drawn to ensure fair and equal representation
for all residents.It is the responsibility of Georgetown County Council to update
the seven county council districts. These lines determine
representation for county residents on the County Council, as
well as the Georgetown County School Board. Georgetown
County received census data in late September of 2021 that
allowed it to begin the process of redistricting. The county
contracted with the state office of Revenue and Fiscal Affairs
(RFA) to guide it through the redistricting process and
create draft maps of the new Council districts for Council
consideration. Information the RFA used to redraw district lines
is available in the report below.Important Documents
Latest Update
Following a workshop on Jan. 11, Georgetown County Council selected
a draft redistricting map to move forward with as it works to adopt a
redistricting plan. This map, known as Plan 1-843A, is still subject to
change prior to adoption based on public comments. The public will
have three opportunities in January to review and comment on draft
redistricting maps, as well as pose questions prior to adoption of a
redistricting plan.
