Represents City Council Districts based on the 2020 Census. Approved by Fort Mill Council January 9, 2023.

Meeting minutes from January 9, 2023 where these boundaries were approved can be found here.Town staff has been working with the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs office (SCRFA) to study and plan for the redistricting of the Town Council’s wards based upon the results of the 2020 Decennial Census. SCRFA first developed a Redistricting Benchmark Report, which staff presented to Council on March 14, 2022. The report outlines the current demographics of the existing Council ward geographies and discusses the path forward to developing a new ward map. After receiving input, staff reached back out to SCRFA to begin the process of developing a draft map for public review. The draft map is attached. The map was developed utilizing the following traditional redistricting principles:Wards will be drawn contiguously, so that all parts of the district or ward are connected to each other. Wards will be drawn to minimize the division of voting precincts. Wards will be geographically compact to the extent practicable, such that nearby areas of population are not bypassed for a more distant population. Wards will be drawn to comply with other applicable court decisions and federal and state laws. Wards will be drawn, when feasible, with respect to existing districts and communities of interests, which will require input from Council and the citizens.Wards will be drawn to give careful consideration to minority districts for compliance with Section 2 criteria of the Voting Rights Act Wards will be drawn to a deviation range of 5%The adoption process follows the normal ordinance adoption process, which requires two readings and one public hearing. The public hearing is tentatively set for Council’s first meeting in January.
