Redistricting, a process that occurs every 10 years following a census count, ensures compliance with the Voting Rights Act and the constitutional principle of one person, one vote. The process also helps ensure fair constituent representation on the Commission. 

Madison County’s current population based on 2020 census data is 388,153.  The goal is to create six balanced districts of approximately 64,692 people in each district, with a deviation of plus or minus 5%.

It’s important to note, however, redistricting does not determine where children attend school, nor does it affect any other governmental boundaries. 

The Commission adopted new district boundaries at the January 19, 2022 Commission Meeting.  These new boundaries of the six Madison County Commission districts will go into effect beginning in November 2024 and will be used for the election of members of the Commission in the 2024 primary and general elections.
