Review Reprecincting Proposals
Johnson County representatives reviewed the reprecincting process and the following standards
required when drawing precinct boundaries:
Precinct population cannot exceed 3,500
– If there are areas in your city where substantial growth is anticipated in the next ten
years, you may wish to establish precincts with populations smaller than the 3,500
maximum allowed by law.
Precinct must lie within one legislative district
Composed of contiguous territory
Precincts boundaries must follow census block boundaries
Voter convenience and electoral efficiency
– The convenience of voters means the precinct boundaries are easy to describe and
identify and provide voters with relatively direct routes of travel to polling places.
Electoral efficiency means reducing election costs by only creating as many precincts as
necessary.
Include annexed territory
– Territory annexed after January 1, 2020, must be included when drawing precincts.
– Use the annexed territory population certified by the city.
County representatives noted the focus of each plan as follows:
Plan A focuses on clear lines while taking into account election turnout and polling location
proximity.
Plan B was structured around existing polling places.
Plan C creates population balance between precincts and within house districts.
City Attorney Goers provided additional information. Individual Council members expressed their
views.
Action: Staff will present Plan A and Plan C for consideration at the December 14th formal meeting.
Adjourn 8:50 p.m.
