Unlike the previous preliminary map, this one uses official population data from the 2020 census count instead of estimates. That, along with public comments from 36 meetings in July and August, has led to some major changes in the map鈥檚 proposed districts, particularly the new eighth district Colorado gained due to a population increase counted in the 2020 census.

There were large increases to many non-white races and ethnicities, which they attribute to simply asking better questions. However, some are still concerned that a proposed citizenship question and pandemic-related challenges still led to an undercount of certain populations.

Commissioners are responsible for redrawing the state鈥檚 districts after the decennial census results are released.

The Census Bureau recently announced plans to release the first-round of results by April 30. Disruptions and accuracy concerns swirled around last year鈥檚 count and, for some, those concerns remain. The delay may help the Bureau fix some issues, but will also cause problems for the state鈥檚 redistricting plans and tax allocation process, and could affect local efforts like fire recovery.
