Gogebic New County Voting Map Approved for Next Year

The Apportionment Committee of Gogebic County has approved the new population-based voting map, which will go into effect at the beginning of 2022. The precincts are divided only to meet the population standard and are not altered to offer a partisan political advantage. The chairpersons of the county’s two major political parties were present as committee members and said they were satisfied that the new map did not alter the status quo in terms of voter district adjustment. The November 2021 elections are already scheduled under the current apportionment map.
