Comment period open on county's 3 commissioner districts' boundaries

The Chelan County Elections Department is taking comments now on the apportionment of its three commissioners’ districts.

Comments will be taken until 9 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 27. They can be submitted to elections@co.chelan.wa.us.

Every 10 years, following the U.S. census, counties consider redrawing the boundaries of their voting districts to reflect population changes. Chelan County is divided into three districts, with a county commissioner elected to represent each district.

The 2020 census puts Chelan County at 79,074 people, or a 7 percent growth from the 73,453 people recorded in 2010. However, the growth in population did not have much impact on the county’s districts.

Ideally, Chelan County would be divided into three districts that each represent 33 percent of the population, Chelan County Auditor Skip Moore explained. The districts, using the current population and current district maps, show 33.3 percent of the county’s population living in District 1, 32.7 percent in District 2, and 33.8 percent in District 3.

“That’s about as close as you can get,” Moore said. “I am not proposing any changes to the districts’ boundaries, but we do give the community an opportunity to comment on this decision.”
