The redistricting and reprecincting maps were reviewed by the Marshall County Election Board when they met last week.
It was explained that the City of Plymouth conducted the redistricting process and made some changes to the precinct maps. The Centennial Crossing development in the area of Plymouth/Goshen Trail was annexed into the city. There were 86 voters in that area so that created a split ballot in Center 5 between county and city ballots.
Additionally, 16 voters in the area near the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department moved from District 2 to District 1 in Plymouth for balloting purposes.
The purpose of redistricting is to create a balanced number of voters in all districts following the census.
The board members did not need to take action on the maps, but were able to be sure they were updated on current information.
