Electoral redistricting and November referendum
Summary
The board approved putting a choice on the November 2026 ballot: keep the current five-district, two-at-large system or switch to six districts with one at-large seat. Voters, not commissioners, make the final call. District lines were drawn without protecting incumbents and with headroom in Moyock-area districts for future growth.
