Beaufort County issued the following announcement on October 20.
Beaufort County and USCB are hosting an informational meeting on redistricting at 6 p.m., Wednesday, October 27, at USCB Center for the Arts, 805 Carteret, Beaufort. Speakers include Frank Rainwater, Executive Director, and Victor Frontroth, both from the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office.
Redistricting is the process of enacting new congressional and state legislative district boundaries. District lines are redrawn every 10 years following completion of the United States census. Federal law stipulates that districts must have nearly equal populations and must not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity. Boundaries must also be as contiguous and compact as possible and keep communities of interest in their entirety.
Upon completion of the process, South Carolina will draft and enact new district maps.
The meeting will be live streamed on The County Channel. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions of the speakers.
