Redistricting 2011 Project Plan
When the U.S. Census is completed every ten years, the Hillsborough County Charter requires reapportionment of the County Commission's single-member districts, districts 1 through 4, to ensure that the districts represent an equal number of residents.
This reapportionment must be completed 120 days after Hillsborough County receives the certified results of the U.S. Census on the county's population and distribution. The process this year will is scheduled to be completed in June of 2011, after which it will go to the U.S. Department of Justice for approval. The Board of County Commissioners and County Administration is committed to providing the citizens of Hillsborough County the opportunity to be heard and participate in this important process which may affect your local representation.
These webpages will provide background information on the redistricting process, a list of community meetings, public hearings and County Commission workshops, maps showing possible redistricting results, and an e-mail form to allow you to comment on the process.
Please participate in this process and help us create the most equitable and complete representation of Hillsborough County's citizens on your Board of County Commissioners.
