Three Proposed Redistricting Maps for Charlotte

The Redistricting Ad Hoc Committee, on 9/22/2021 voted on the 3 of the 4 proposed maps to go before the public for feedback and comments.

The Current Map

NOTE: Voting Precincts (Ptc) can range from 1,800 to 19,000 people. Because the city has decided not split precincts, between districts, this unbalance can create difficulties for redistricting.

Map A

This map has the fewest changes to the current map (see red dots):
- Ptc 205 moves to D5, Ptc 77 moves to D6 and Ptc 22 to D1.

Map B

This map keeps the districts politically balanced so D6 and D7 remain Republican leaning.
15 Precincts moved in this map option (see red circles)
-D1 gained Ptc: 26,42, and 82 were moved in from D4.
-D2 lost Ptc: 23,24, and 81 into D2 and Ptc 54 from D1
-Ptc 211 in North Charlotte moved from D2 to D4
-D5 gained Pct 205 from D4 and Ptc 3 from D1
-D6 expands with Ptc: 35,18,1,8 from D1
-D6 also loses Ptc 37 into D1

Map C

This map is very similar to Map B keeping D6 and D7 as Republican leaning districts.
17 Precincts moved in this map option (see red circles)
-D1 gained Ptc: 42, 82 132 were moved in from D4.
-D2 lost Ptc: 23, 24, and 81 into D2 and Ptc 54 from D1
-Ptc 211 and 146 in North Charlotte moved from D2 to D4
-D5 gained Pct 205 from D4
-D6 expands with Ptc: 35,18,1,8 from D1

Winston’s Maps

Councilman Winston created three maps of his own. These maps were not approved by the committee, nor were they presented for the public hearing.

Map D: Created for “D7 to touch D3 and ensures that every district should have a light rail station within the district.” - Winston
Map F: “The Pizza Pie. Could we do it in a way that brought some equity in distributing the effective crescent and wedge between all districts?” - Winston
Map H: “In this map D7 now neighbors D3,5,6 & every district at least abuts a current or future light rail station” - Winston
