Changes in Legislative Districts Due To RedistrictingMany voters in our area will have a new state Delegate or Senator for the primary election on August 23 and the general election on November 8. These changes are a result of redistricting, which realigns the population in the legislative districts following the 2010 census. Click here for a map of the new districts. If you vote at any of the following locations, you will see a change in November's election. In Fairfax, if you vote at: Centrepointe Church at Fair Oaks (Centrepointe precinct): You will now be in Democrat Mark Keam's Delegate district. Also, if you live east of Cedar Lakes Drive, you will now be in Democrat Chap Petersen's Senate district.
