New voter registration cards are being sent to Pierce County residents. Here's why
Pierce County voters can expect something new to arrive in their mailboxes in the next few weeks.
According to a news release from Pierce County, people will be receiving new voter registration cards. The cards are being mailed as a result of the 2020 census, which produced new political district lines across the county, according to elections manager Mike Rooney.
“With the 2020 census, the state performs redistricting for congressional and legislative districts, and our county council also reviewed the district lines and also drew new county district lines … so the lines get readjusted every 10 years on the census to align with current populations so the districts are nearly equal in size as far as population,” Rooney said.
The new cards are not needed to vote but will provide information to voters about the political districts they reside in, including congressional, legislative and County Council.
