BOCC Approves New Precincts for Pasco County

Redistricting and re-precincting completed for nearly 300,000 Pasco County voters.

Supervisor of Elections Brian E. Corley announces the unanimous approved by  the Board of County Commissioners of the proposed redistricting maps at their meeting Tuesday in the Historic Pasco County Court House in Dade City.

“With this final approval we can move forward with final preparations for the upcoming election cycle,” said Supervisor Corley. “All voters will receive new voter information cards in July which will inform them of any changes to their districts and voting precincts.”  Also, new district maps are available to view at www.pascovotes.com

As a cost savings measure and due to the tremendous growth in Pasco County, the new legislative boundaries enabled the consolidation of precincts countywide and lowered the number of polling places from 123 to 108. These changes, significant enough to greatly reduce the amount of personnel and equipment needed for election days, affect only 15% of registered voters with the remaining 85% experiencing no change in their polling place.
