  • Roadways are now the primary dividers between Districts 2 and 3 (Smoky Hill Rd.)及第4区及第5区(朱威尔大道).), reducing the split of individual neighborhoods into different districts;
  • The City of Glendale will move from District 5 to District 4; and
  • Communities in the southwestern rural areas of District 3, 沿着I-25走廊的社区, and communities within the area around Cherry Creek State Park will each be preserved inside single districts.

这个过程

Redistricting is the process to redraw county commissioner district boundaries so they accurately reflect population changes in Colorado counties.

Under Colorado Revised Statute (30-10-306.7) boundaries for county commissioner districts must be redrawn every 10 years based on data from the most recent United States Census. 

Due to a nationwide delay in states receiving 2020 United States Census data, the Colorado State Legislature passed legislation to delay county commissioner redistricting until 2023, to allow time to analyze data and adequately prepare. The new districts will be effective in the 2024 election cycle.
