As required by law, every ten years, local governments use new census data to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. This process, called redistricting, is important to ensure that each voting district is about the same size.
Redistricting is done using U.S. Census data released on September 27, 2021 which shows the City of Selma’s population declined by 2,785 between the 2010-2020 Census.
Your input is requested to redraw voting districts within the City of Selma. One way you can participate is by completing this survey.
Due to the threat of severe weather, all non-essential city services will be closed on Friday, March 18, 2022. The City will continue to monitor the situation and depending on the severity of the event may make further changes to hours of operation.
