Due to changes in New York State law, Allegany County is obligated to complete a process of redrawing district boundaries of the Allegany County Board of Legislators. The current redistricting process is underway now because a review of the final 2020 census data showed that our current County Legislative districts are not as equal as they should be.
The goal of redistricting is to uphold the equal representation principle of democracy, by ensuring that each County Legislator represents approximately the same number of Allegany County residents. While equal population is the goal, it is impossible to have exactly equal numbers in each district, and federal and state guidance allows for variances of approximately 5 percent in population between the districts. There are factors in this guidance such as keeping the lines of districts continuous or avoiding splitting townships into multiple districts whenever possible.
