Clark County Redistricting
Community Meeting Monday, Oct. 4
Residents are invited to a community meeting to provide input into the decennial process of drawing the boundary lines for each of the seven Clark County Commission districts.
The meeting will be held Monday, Oct. 4, 6-8 p.m. in the first-floor Commission Chambers at the Clark County Government Center at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway in downtown Las Vegas. Those unable to attend in person may watch the proceedings live on Clark County Television (CCTV) and at www.Facebook.com/ClarkCountyNV, www.Twitter.com/ClarkCountyNV and https://www.youtube.com/user/ClarkCountyNV/live. One also may submit comments or questions to redistricting@ClarkCountyNV.gov.
The redistricting process is undertaken every 10 years following the national Census in order to comply with state law, which requires Commission districts to be nearly equal in population. Rapid growth in population over the last decade has resulted in great variations in population across the County’s seven Commission districts. For instance, Commissioner Justin Jones’ District F is the largest with 365,567 residents while Commissioner William McCurdy II’s District D is the smallest, having 21 percent fewer residents than District F with 287,626.
The information collected from the public will be provided to the Clark County Commission, which will vote on the new boundaries for the seven Commission districts. An ordinance governing redistricting will be introduced and adopted by the Commission. The process has been delayed this year due to the timing of the release of the Census and work needed to get maps completed.
CCTV is available in the Las Vegas area on Channel 4/1004 on Cox cable and on CenturyLink on Channels 4 and 1004 as well as in Laughlin on Channel 14 via Suddenlink. Live streaming of CCTV programming is available at https://www.youtube.com/user/ClarkCountyNV/live. CCTV is also available in Boulder City on Channel 4 and in Moapa Valley on Digital Channel 50.3.
