POSTED: Oct. 5, 2021

The public is invited to offer input through Nov. 5 on the process to redraw the boundaries of the five Clatsop County Board of Commissioners districts.

The county is required, under its charter, to review the boundaries every 10 years following the release of population data from the federal census, to ensure that each district contains close to the same number of residents.

Visit the link below to provide input on how you would like to see the districts redrawn:

Under the charter, district boundaries must not only contain roughly equal population but must also be “of contiguous territory and as compact as possible.” The maps must be approved at least six months prior to the next countywide election, which is set for May 17, 2022.
