Miami-Dade County Residents invited to attend public workshops on redistricting

Miami-Dade – Miami-Dade County is in the process of redrawing the Commission District boundaries to comply with Federal, State and local requirements.

Following the decennial release of population data from the US Census, Commission District boundaries must be redrawn to apportion population relatively equally among each District.

The Citizen Advisory Board, together with redistricting experts retained by the Board of County Commissioners, is hosting public redistricting workshops in their respective districts to provide information and elicit comments from the public concerning the redistricting process.

Some public workshops have already taken place, but there are still several opportunities to attend one:
