FL: Parkland's Balancing Act: Redistricting Plans Unveiled Ahead of 2024 Elections
The Parkland City Commission will discuss redistricting for future municipal elections at their upcoming budget workshop on Wednesday at 5 p.m.
According to the city’s code of ordinances, the commission must undergo a redistricting process every four years. They must adopt a final map, divided into four districts, between 360 and 480 days before the upcoming election.
The districts must be as close in population as possible and be in contiguous boundaries. The new maps also must not prevent any current commissioner from completing their current term.
Parkland has 34,670 residents, meaning each district should have as close to 8,668 people as possible. Districts One and Three have fewer people than this figure, with 8,272 and 8,135 people, respectively. Districts Two and Four each have a higher population, at 9,136 and 9,127, respectively.
