Maptitude Local Government Redistricting Software

Local Government Redistricting with Maptitude

In many states, local governments that elect by district must, every ten years, redraw their district lines to ensure that their districts have equal population.

Local redistricting can involve any county, city, school district, community college district, or special district that is divided into districts or divisions. These local government agencies are required to review their current district boundaries with new population figures from the 2020 census and work through the redistricting process.

Local government redistricting software

Who will benefit from Maptitude for Redistricting for local redistricting? Anyone who is involved in adopting the new district lines: city councils, school boards, county and city managers, county and city attorneys, school attorneys, school superintendents, county and city Geographic Information System (GIS) directors, election directors from local governments that elect from districts, the local governing body, and boards of supervisors.

A web-based version, Maptitude Online Redistricting, is suitable for individual citizens and legislators who wish to propose boundaries for their district or even an entire plan. There is also a version that runs as an extension to ArcGIS if you prefer working in that GIS environment.

What is Local Government Redistricting?

Local Government Redistricting is the redrawing of electoral boundaries to meet certain balancing criteria because in the United States, as for national and state legislatures, local governments are obligated to redistrict following the decennial census if they have elected members.
