The County Apportionment Commission is a
statutory commission governed under MCL
46.401-46.416. The Apportionment Commission
is charged with the responsibility of
apportioning the County into commissioner
districts.
County Boards of
Commissioners were established by the State
Legislature in 1967 pursuant to PA 261 of
1966. Prior to this Act, County Boards of
Commissioners were known as County Boards of
Supervisors.
Membership
The Apportionment Commission is comprised of
the County Clerk, County Treasurer, County
Prosecuting Attorney and the Chairperson of
the two major political parties (MCL 46.403)
Process
The Apportionment Commission convenes every
10 years following the publication of the
latest United States official decennial
census figures. The County Apportionment
Commission shall apportion the county into
not less than 5 nor more than 35 county
commission districts as nearly of equal
population as is practicable within the
limitations and guidelines as set forth in
the statute. Once the County Apportionment
Commission adopts and files a plan, a copy
must be filed with the Secretary of State,
along with a Resolution, a description of
the districts and a map showing the new
district boundaries.
