Due to the inequality of populations among the five commissioner residency districts following the 2020 Census, the Chatham County Board of Commissioners directed the County Manager to work with his staff to present several alternative plans for redrawing the residency districts to make the population totals in each district more equal.   

During its meeting on August 7, 2023, the Board of Commissioners received a presentation on the current residency district map and three alternative redistricting plans for its consideration and direction. Following the presentation of the alternative plans, the Board of Commissioners has set a public comment period for its next regular meeting on August 21, 2023, where the public was invited to provide comments on the proposed alternatives. 

At the August 21 meeting, the Board of Commissioners decided to move forward with a public hearing for option 1. A public hearing to be noticed for the regularly scheduled Board of Commissioners meeting on September 18, 2023.
