New proposed districts will change the makeup of the Board of Supervisors

The makeup of the Franklin County Board of Supervisors is set to see a dramatic change as a result of a new redistricting map imposed on the county by the Iowa Legislative Services Agency.

Following the 2020 Census, Franklin County, like all counties in Iowa, had to submit a new map to the Secretary of State for the redistricting of voting precincts and supervisor districts. A volunteer rezoning board came together once the census results were in and worked to make adjustments to the precinct map in order to account for changes in population.
