Forsyth County will probably not redraw county commissioner district boundaries in 2021 because 2020 Census data shows the districts are still within the permissible range. If the commission chooses to adjust the lines, county residents should demand an open redistricting process and districts that fairly represent communities in the county. Below is the current county districts boundaries map, basic demographic information, and how county residents can participate in ensuring a fair redistricting process in the county.
