RedistrictingCounty Commission District 4 Redistricting Town Hall
Redistricting is the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries, a practice carried out in the United States every ten years following the Census. The fundamental aim of redistricting is to ensure equal representation – each district should comprise roughly the same number of people, maintaining the core principle of “one person, one vote.”
In El Paso County, redistricting shapes the five districts that each elect a representative to the Board of County Commissioners. These districts should be designed to reflect the changing population and demographics accurately and fairly, thereby ensuring equitable representation.
However, the redistricting process can be manipulated, as seen in practices like gerrymandering, where boundaries are strategically drawn to favor a particular group or political party. It is critical that El Paso County’s redistricting process remains transparent, unbiased, and serves the best interests of all its residents, reflecting the diverse voices within our communities.

How we can build a better El Paso County together!
Hey there, voting enthusiast! You know, elections are the heartbeat of our democratic society. They’re how we, the people, get our voices heard. But let’s be real; it’s not like we can all get together in a giant room and vote on every single issue — as much as we’d love to, it’s just not practical in our busy, modern world. So, what do we do? We vote for representatives. These folks are our voice, our proxy, our stand-in at the decision-making table. It’s pretty cool when you think about it.
