ELECTION DISTRICT BOUNDARIES REDRAWN
The City of Fort Pierce contracted Kurt Spitzer and Associates to assist with the City’s redistricting requirements following the 2020 Census. The redistricting, as required every 10 years by federal law, sought to revise the election boundaries in an effort to provide two districts with as close to equal population as possible
Two Public Input Workshops were held to bring awareness and education abut the redistricting requirements. Two map options for the City’s consideration were created. Alternative 1 (pictured above), which has District 1 and 2 bordered by U.S. Highway 1, Georgia Avenue, South 13th Street, Virginia Avenue, and Okeechobee Road, was approved by the City Commission.
