The Hendersonville Standard reports:
Despite nearly two hours of debate on Nov. 30, a final vote on new ward boundaries for a redistricting plan the city of Hendersonville is required to implement yielded the same results as an initial vote three weeks earlier.
During the special-called Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, board members voted 7 to 5 to implement a redistricting plan recommended by a special Citizen Redistricting Committee appointed by the board in September. The board voted 7 to 6 on the same plan on Nov. 9.
State and federal law requires city, state and county governments to redraw voting districts every 10 years following the U.S. Census to assure equal representation for voters. The city of Hendersonville is currently divided into six wards represented by two aldermen each.
