The agencies are required to redraw their districts every 10 years in line with population changes. The sole purpose of these nonpartisan districts is to elect members to the County Council and School Board. Informational flyer Proposed maps On Nov. 2, the County Council selected map FI-5B from among the 20 maps that were under consideration. The other 19 maps are still available for viewing: Maps 1-13 Maps 14-18 Map 19 The maps were created to ensure that the five County Council districts remain compact, contiguous and as close in population as possible, while also preserving communities of interest. Partisan issues did not factor into the decision-making process, which also included joint meetings between the County Council and the Volusia County School Board on Oct. 18 and Oct. 28. County staff will now begin the task of creating the legal description for the districts and preparing an ordinance to bring before the County Council on Dec. 14. Pursuant to the county charter, a minimum two-thirds vote of the full Council is required to approve the ordinance. To finalize the process, the county will then advertise the new districts for two weeks after the ordinance is adopted, certify the minutes of the meeting at which the ordinance is adopted, send a resolution and the certified meeting minutes to the Florida Department of State and then send the district changes to Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Lisa Lewis. The process is scheduled to be completed in January. Public comments The online public comment portal remains open.
