Georgia Civic Education

Who draws the lines decides a lot. Let's make it fair and open.

Decennial district maps determine which neighborhoods vote together and shape local representation across every county.

How voting districts work in Georgia

Every ten years, Georgia redraws voting districts

Those lines shape who represents your community

Everyone should be able to see how they are drawn

Following the decennial census, population shifts require boundary adjustments for congressional and local seats.

District boundaries dictate which neighborhoods vote together and determine local legislative representation.

Transparent access to maps ensures residents can understand and participate in the civic process.
