2021 REDISTRICTING
Every 10 years following the decennial census, ward lines must be redrawn so that each ward is substantially equal in population. This process, called redistricting, falls under the purview of the Hattiesburg City Council and is important to ensure population equality and voting rights protection. To learn more about the 2021 process and to access a full schedule of the public hearings, visit our page located at hattiesburgms.com/council/redistricting.
