TID Redistricting Process Underway Redistricting is the process of adjusting the division boundaries to ensure that all districts have equal populations and are in compliance with all state and federal laws. All jurisdictions that have electoral divisions, including special districts like TID’s Board of Directors, must equalize the populations of their respective divisions every 10 years following the decennial federal census. Over the coming months, the Board of Directors will be accepting public comments and input on what kind of boundaries should be drawn to best represent their community. For more information on the redistricting process and to submit comments, visit TID.org/redistricting.
