Redistricting Date Moved Up

Prince William County, Va. –– Prince William officials say they need to adopt their redistricting plan sooner than later.

A special meeting of the county’s board of supervisors to adopt the redistricting plan was announced late Friday night, to be held at 7:30 p.m. April 18 at the Prince William County Government Center in Woodbridge.

The county originally thought they would have until May 17 to adopt the new redistricting plan.

“The change stems from an error realized by the Electoral Board. State and federal law requires absentee ballots be available no later than 45 days prior to a Primary or General Election. This requirement was not communicated to the County during the planning process for redistricting. The letter from the Electoral Board indicates that ‘… the May 17, 2011, date is no longer early enough for the Board of County Supervisors to finally adopt its redistricting plan,’” stated a press release from Prince William County.

The county’s next electoral board meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. April 5, and is open to the public.

Stafford County has also called public meetings about their redistricting process.

Town hall meetings will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday April 7 at Stafford High School at 33 Stafford Indian Lane, and at 7 p.m. Thursday April 14 at North Stafford High School at 839 Garrisonville Road (Va. 610).
