Redistricting

An interactive map of the new county districts is located here. Our analysis is here. The official maps of districts and precincts is on the Maury County Election Commission website.
Tennessee State House maps were proposed in December 2021 and were passed by the Tennessee Senate and Tennessee House in January 2022. This created two Tennessee House districts whuch include parts of Maury County:
- District 64, including the eastern part of the county (most of Columbia and Spring Hill); and,
- District 71, including the western part of the county, as well as parts of Lawrence, Wayne and Hardin counties.
The official map book for State House Districts is here. An interactive map of these districts in Maury County is here. Our analysis of the State House map is here.
All of Maury County was placed in Tennessee Senate District 28, and U.S. House District 5.
These maps are subject to litigation, and the Tennessee Democratic Party has threatened to sue. We will provide additional information on litigation as it develops.
