The purpose of redistricting is to ensure that every person is equally represented.

After each census, the boundaries of the election districts in Ramsey County, including our congressional, legislative and county commissioner districts, are adjusted to bring them into compliance with the “one person – one vote” requirement of the US Constitution.

The Minnesota legislature is responsible for redrawing congressional and legislative district boundaries. If it is unable to do so, as was the case this year, a panel of state judges does this work. The new court-ordered redistricting plan was released on February 21, 2012.

The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners is responsible for drawing the county commissioner district boundaries.

Each city and township designates its own precinct boundaries and polling place locations.

Every precinct has one polling place where all the voters in that precinct can vote.
