A court order changing Congressional districts, do to alleged gerrymandering, requires Chesterfield Registrar Lawrence Haake to divide voting precincts along the new 4th and 7th Congressional boundaries creating four precincts out of the current two – Beach Voting Precinct and Bird Voting Precinct. The new precincts will vote at the same polling place as always.
The Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors must also consider an ordinance dividing the Bird Voting Precinct in the Dale Magisterial District into two precincts by creating a new precinct out of the northern portion of the Bird Voting Precinct and using the same polling place, Bird High School, for both the Bird and North Bird Precincts; and dividing the Beach Voting Precinct in the Matoaca District into two precincts by creating a new precinct out of the western portion of the Beach Voting Precinct and using the same polling place, Second Branch Baptist Church, for both the Beach and West Beach Precincts.
