To Members of the Sussex County Community:

The League of Women Voters of Sussex County is publishing its first draft redistricting map for the Sussex Council Districts.

This map is for discussion purposes and may change as comments are considered.

The Sussex County Council will be undertaking to draw the districts for the five councilmanic seats this year.

Members of the community are encouraged to submit their proposed maps to Council by using the draft map attached here or to go to davesredistricting.org.

In drafting your suggested map. You may want to focus on the following:

1. Each district consists of contiguous territory.
2. Each district is close to equal in population.
3. Major roads, waterways, natural boundaries, and municipal boundaries are considered.
4. The districts are not drawn to unduly favor any person or political party, and.
5. Communities of interest have been included in a single district and are not divided ( A “ community of interest is any group of people who share common social, cultural, racial, ethnic, and economic interests common to the population of that area”).
