Charleston County Council

Pursuant to South Carolina law requiring County Council redistricting every ten years, and in compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act and U.S. Supreme Court rulings, the physical boundaries of Charleston County Council’s existing districts must be redrawn this year. The County’s population increased from 350,209 at the 2010 Census to 408,235 at the 2020 Census. As a result, current district lines have been adjusted to comply with the Constitutional principle of "one person, one vote," with an overall deviation of less than 5%.
