Pitt County Begins Voter Redistricting Process
Webpage Launches Ahead of Public Hearing on September 27, 2021
Pitt County Planning and Development launches Voter Redistricting webpage on the Pitt County website prior to the public hearing on September 27, 2021.
The Pitt County Board of County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Monday, September 27, 2021, at or after 6:00 pm in the Eugene James Auditorium in the County Administration Building located at 1717 W. 5th Street, Greenville, N.C regarding the proposed Voter District Plan for the Pitt County Board of County Commissioners.
With the delivery of Census 2020 Public Law Data to Pitt County, it has been determined that Pitt County’s population growth and shift since the last census will require the County to redraw local voter district boundaries. Redistricting means redrawing the districts from which County Commissioners are elected. Redistricting is mandatory under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. In addition, Pitt County must adhere to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Section 2.
For more information on the proposed districts, visit the webpage at https://www.pittcountync.gov/856/Voter-Redistricting
