The Office of Local Government within the State Comptroller's Office has developed a 36 page manual on Redistricting. The 2011 Guide to Local Redistricting in Tennessee is availablehere. The manual outlines both legal and administrative requirements for completing this process, discussing the impact of the constitution and state and federal laws on redistrcting as well as the requirements for the proper use of census data.
At our County Government Day event earlier this month, Tom Fleming, the Director of the Office of Local Government, spoke and ran through a quick reference guide to the process. That document, which was distributed at the meeting, is included as an appendix to this larger manual along with a glossary of important terms. Additional training on the subject will be available to county officials at the TCSA Post-Legislative Conference in Gatlinburg June 7 and 8.
