Hanover County issued the following announcement on Oct. 14
Hanover County has scheduled public information sessions on the proposed reapportionment of County election (magisterial) districts, including changes in Board of Supervisor election districts, precinct boundaries, and polling place locations. Members of the Board of Supervisors are elected and certain appointments are made on the basis of the districts. Reapportionment of districts is required every ten years, following the census, by Va. Code Section 24.2-304.1. This process is also referred to as redistricting.
In April 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau conducted the decennial census, which documented that Hanover County has a population of 109,991. Based on this population count, the County must apportion its Board of Supervisors election districts so that each district contains an approximately equal portion of the County’s population. This is accomplished through redistricting, which is the process of changing electoral district boundaries.
Redistricting has absolutely no effect on school district boundaries.
Several public information sessions intended to educate the public and seek input on redistricting have been scheduled. No formal presentations will be given. Stations will be set up with pertinent maps and other materials available for review. Staff will be available to answer questions and receive comments. All sessions begin at 6 p.m.
