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.


FCNC is not an official website of the county government.




Volunteer

You can participate in achieving Fair Redistricting in Forsyth County.

A team of volunteers are asking for a fair redistricting process, if district boundaries are redrawn for Forsyth county commissioners in 2021 — see below for current status. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to join the effort.

To get involved, contact fairelections@lwvpt.org or use the FCNC contact page. The FCNC Fair Redistricting Guide has more information about how to achieve fair redistricting at the county level.
