County’s website: Reapportionment maps

Since we posted the Reapportionment maps obtained Tuesday evening, the county has posted PDF versions of this same information on their own website. Copies are on the LAKE website and appended below. I’ve added HTML tables of the statistics.
VAP is Voting-Age Population.

Commission Explansion Update

At the December 13, 2011, meeting of the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners, Commissioners adopted a required resolution to transmit the plan for outlining apportionment for Lowndes County Commission Districts 1, 2, 3 and the newly created 4 & 5. During the next week, the resolution, plans and maps will be forwarded to a member of Lowndes County’s local legislative delegation for submission to the Georgia General Assembly, during the upcoming session. Once approved by the General Assembly and signed by the Governor, the appropriate information will be forwarded to the Department of Justice for approval. Once approved by the Department of Justice, Lowndes County can move forward with the districts for the 2012 elections. Please note that while the maps listed below have been formulated by the Board of Commissioners in conjunction with assistance from the Office of Reapportionment, the General Assembly and/or the Department of Justice could reject them. These maps are being published as the most recent information available only. For questions or more information, please contact County Clerk, Paige Dukes, 229-671-2400 or pdukes@lowndescounty.com. Additional information regarding this matter will be updated at this location, as it becomes available. Thank you for your interest in Lowndes County government.
