The Harris County Attorney’s Office is co-hosting a public meeting Oct. 21 alongside county precinct commissioners to hear feedback from local residents about the ongoing redistricting process. The meeting will be held at the Harris County Commissioners Court, located at 1001 Preston St., Ste. 934, Houston, at 4 p.m.

Members of the public may attend in person or view the meeting virtually. A sign-up form will be posted here for residents wishing to speak at the meeting.

The redistricting process takes place as often as every 10 years and ensures each county precinct’s population is as equal as possible. Officials said the target population size for each precinct will be 1.18 million residents as the maps are redrawn.

In addition to population size, other factors considered throughout the process include language, culture, political affiliation and natural boundaries between communities, such as highways and bodies of water.
