City still awaiting map approval
Parker: Department of Justice apparently 'pleased' with redistricting
CC District Map Sm 20Oct08
With two days remaining until the start of a qualifying period for Statesboro’s November election, officials haven’t identified a district map upon which to base the process. City Manager Frank Parker announced Friday that he has not yet committed to using the city’s current voting districts, after phone communications between he and a staff member with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) left open the possibility of approval for Statesboro’s recently updated district map. The new map, which was designed to equally apportion populations in each of the city’s five districts according to 2010 Census Data, must be granted clearance by the Justice Department prior to the applicant qualifying period – beginning 8:30 a.m. Monday – to be implemented in this year’s election process.
