Pasquotank County Redistricting News:
9/6/2021. Pasquotank County Commission districts will have to be redrawn by November 17, in order for candidates to file for the 2022 election in December. Analysis of the new Census data by Fair Counties NC, a volunteer-run project, shows that Pasquotank’s district populations are now too far out of line due to changes over the past decade. Commission district population should be about equal so voters have an equal say. That’s what “one person, one vote” requires. The accepted guideline is that no local district should be more than 5% above or below the new county population per commissioner. Redrawing is a must if the highest and lowest deviations total more than 10%. Pasquotank’s districts are off by more than 20%! Pasquotank County commissioners draw their own maps, just like legislators do, but voters deserve a say in how those districts are drawn. Our commissioners have stepped up, committing to a participatory map-drawing process, so now it’s the up to the voters’ to make our voices heard! Be ready to weigh in when the proposed district map is released to be sure it keeps communities with shared interests together. Get involved now so your community’s voice is heard when our commissioners make vital decisions for Pasquotank.

The Pasquotank County Board of Commissioners has 7 members, 4 elected from single-member districts and 3 elected at large. Commissioners serve 4-year staggered terms. Your county commission makes many decisions that affect you, including providing funds for schools, public health, and many local services, writing regulations, approving projects, and setting tax rates.
In the single-member districts, each commissioner is elected from his/her own district by voters in that district. Below on the left are the four single-member districts with one commissioner for each district. Below on the right indicates that the other three commissioner positions are elected at large: all voters vote on each position.
The four single-member districts are: Northern Outside, Northern Inside, Southern Inside, and Southern Outside.
There is an interactive map (using ArcGIS) that includes a layer for the county single-member districts located here. Below is an interactive Google map displaying the single-member districts.
