Redistricting meeting scheduled for Monday

The Pinal County Board of Supervisors has accepted three proposed redistricting maps for Pinal County to be presented for public comment.

According to the 2011 U.S. Census, Pinal County’s population is at 375,770, which is about twice as many residents since 2000.  By law, Pinal County will now have to add two new supervisors. The proposed redistricting maps reflect the change by containing five supervisorial districts.

Pinal County Elections department encourages the public’s attendance and involvement during the upcoming redistricting meetings. People who attend the meetings will have an opportunity to provide their input on the proposed district boundaries and ask questions of the elections department.

The meeting in Maricopa will be held at 6 p.m. Monday at the Maricopa Unified School District Office, 44150 W. Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway.
