  New law requires three Democratic-leaning Iowa counties — Johnson, Black Hawk, Story — to elect supervisors by district, not at-large

The Johnson County Board of Supervisors has initiated the redistricting process following the release of the 2020 Census data, aiming to adjust the boundaries of the county's five supervisor districts to ensure equal representation. During a recent meeting, the supervisors reviewed a draft map prepared by county staff, which proposes changes to maintain population balance across the districts. The draft map suggests moving precincts between districts, with a focus on minimizing disruption to existing district lines. The supervisors are also considering public input and plan to hold a public hearing on the proposed map before finalizing it. The redistricting effort is driven by the need to comply with legal requirements for population equality and to reflect the county's demographic changes over the past decade.
