Precinct Boundary Changes Okayed
SPECIAL TO THE COURIER

The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners recently approved updates to the county’s precinct lines and political district maps to reflect the recent redistricting of U.S. House, Colorado Senate and Colorado House boundaries.

By law, precincts cannot be split by the new district lines. About 10 percent of Boulder County precincts required new boundaries.
Voters who are moved into new U.S. House, State House or State Senate districts as part of redistricting were scheduled to be notified by mail in late January. All voters will be notified about their new precinct number.

As part of the update, the Boulder County elections division staff also introduced a new numbering system that labels precincts geographically. The precincts are separated into nine categories by municipality or region to make precinct data easier to sort.

Niwot and unincorporated Gunbarrel will be in precincts numbered in the 500s, while incorporated Gunbarrel and Boulder will be in precincts numbered in the 800s. Longmont precincts will be numbered in the 600s.

Details about the new precincts and the numbering system are available at www.BoulderCountyVotes.org.
