By April 1 of the year after each federal decennial census date, the County Council appoints a Commission on Redistricting (County Charter, Article 2, sec. 213). County district lines were redrawn to allow for changes in population throughout the County. Each district was drawn in a way that allows for balanced representation on the County Council and compliance with the 1965 federal Voting Rights Act, as amended.
By November 15 of the year before the year in which redistricting was to take effect, the Commission was required to present to the County Council a plan of Council districts, together with a report explaining it. Within 30 days of receiving the Commission's plan, the County Council was required to hold a public hearing on the plan. If within 90 days after presentation of the Commission's plan no other law reestablishing the boundaries of the Council districts had been enacted, then the plan, as submitted, became law.
The Commission was appointed by the County Council, which also named the Chair.
