Redistricting

The Cary Town Council completed redistricting activities, including a public hearing, by adopting a new map of municipal electoral district boundaries at their regular meeting on November, 2021. These boundaries went into immediate effect.

N.C. law allows municipalities to redistrict at any point they deem appropriate, but no less than once every 10 years following each nationwide census. In April 2020, Cary's estimated population was 168,874 citizens - making the ideal average population for each of Cary's four districts 42,218. Prior to 2021, the last Cary redistricting occurred in 2011. Learn more about redistricting.
