HOW IS A DISTRICT OR A JURISDICTION DRAWN?
In each jurisdiction, the election authority establishes precinct boundaries. We consider the U.S. Census when drawing wards and precincts so that each ward’s voting population is relatively equal to the next. The State Legislature redistricts Congressional seats. The State draws state jurisdictions. Appropriate committees draw district lines for lower levels of elected officials. The Kansas City City Council redistricts itself. The appropriate election board draws the Kansas City School District’s ‘sub-districts.
