White Plains, NY — As the Westchester County Board of Legislators embarks in the reassessment of the County’s seventeen legislative districts, it will hold four public input sessions to interactively engage residents in this important process.
The scheduled input sessions aim to educate the public about the proposed changes to the legislative district boundaries and to provide an opportunity for feedback. Each session will have live presentations made by Legislators, visual aids such as maps and videos, and a Q & A period. Wednesday’s Central Westchester meeting at the Westchester County Board of Legislator’s Chamber will allow remote participation. Information on how to speak remotely is available online at https://www.westchesterlegislators.com/redistricting2022 Northern Westchester Tuesday, September 13th from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Peekskill Middle School 212 Ringgold St., Peekskill, NY Central Westchester (Remote Participation & Media Opportunity) Wednesday, September 14th from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Board of Legislators Chamber 148 Martine Ave., 8th Floor, White Plains, NY Southern Westchester Monday, September 19th from 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm Yonkers Public Library - Riverfront Library 1 Larkin Center, Yonkers, NY Sound Shore/Mt.

Vernon, NY 10550 Redistricting is required every 10 years after a new census. The 2020 U.S. census revealed that Westchester County’s population had increased, putting us over the one million mark for the first time in our history. Because the increase is greater in some parts of the County than others, the work before us is to readjust our legislative districts so that the population of each are as equitably split as possible. This readjustment will ensure equal representation for all our residents, and will reflect our local municipalities more accurately.
