Justice Department Clears Fairfax County Redistricting Plan

 The Justice Department on Monday cleared the redistricting plan for Fairfax County, setting the precinct and district boundaries for the next 10 years. This year’s primary and general elections will be held according to the changes made in the redistricting plan.

 “The plan we adopted in April is the culmination of an inclusive and transparent process and will ensure Fairfax County residents are represented fairly and equally on the Board of Supervisors,” Chairman Sharon Bulova said in a statement. “The plan also called for minimal changes: only seven precincts have changed countywide.”

 As adopted by the board, seven precincts are shifted to other districts, and three precinct boundaries have been changed.

 Precinct Changes

• Bristow moves from Braddock to Mason District.
• Eagle View and Monument move from Springfield to Braddock District.
• Walnut Hill No. 2 moves from Providence to Mason District.
• Hunt moves from Mount Vernon to Springfield District.
• Coates moves from Hunter Mill to Dranesville District.
• Colvin moves from Dranesville to Hunter Mill District.

Precinct Boundary Changes

• Woodlawn Precinct is divided along Frye Road.  Frye Road becomes the eastern boundary of the Woodlawn Precinct. The area east of Frye Road becomes a new precinct to be named “Pinewood” and then be included in the Lee District. The Pinewood polling place will be the Mount Vernon Woods Elementary School.
• Willow Springs Precinct is divided along Stringfellow Road to the north of Lee Highway. Stringfellow Road becomes the western boundary of the Willow Springs and the eastern boundary of the Powell Precinct. The area to the west of Stringfellow Road is included in the Sully District.
• Nottoway Precinct is divided so that the portion of the precinct that lies within the Town of Vienna becomes part of the Vienna No. 6 Precinct. That area is included in the Hunter Mill District.
