Redistricting 2025

Ensuring fair and equal representation through transparency and community input

Back in November of 2024, Orange County voters approved a charter amendment to expand the number of commission districts from six to eight. To implement this change, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners will undertake a redistricting process to establish new district boundaries and incorporate the two additional districts. To develop the districts, the Board formed the 2025 Mid-Decennial Redistricting Advisory Committee in January 2025.

The committee is responsible for:

• Holding public meetings to gather community input

• Reviewing census data

  
  

• Proposing the boundaries for two new commission districts and recommending adjustments to existing districts

• Submitting a non-binding recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners for review in September 2025

  
  

Orange County’s redistricting process will use a data-driven approach to evaluate current district boundaries, propose alternatives, and recommend two new commission districts to the Board of County Commissioners. The county will utilize Geographic Information System (GIS mapping) to create maps and analyze real-time impacts of boundary changes on key factors like demographics.

Maps for committee consideration and review must be submitted by 11:59 p.m., on July 3, 2025.
