Town Of Milton: MILTON UPDATED PRECINCT BOUNDARIES FOR 2022

Press release from the Town of Milton:

January 26, 2022 - 2:12pm

Dear Milton Resident,

The 2020 Federal Census results for Milton revealed changes in Milton’s population. Although Milton’s total population grew by 6.03%, that growth was not evenly distributed across the Town’s ten voting precincts. Some precincts grew more than others, which caused an imbalance in the number of residents in each of our ten voting precincts.

To comply with Massachusetts General Laws, Milton was required to make changes to our existing precinct borders to balance the population among the precincts, thus balancing the representation. This is referred to as “Reprecincting.” The result of the changes to precinct borders means some Milton voters will be voting in a different voting precinct in Milton than where they last voted. The change to precincts is effective for the April 26, 2022 Annual Town Election and all elections thereafter.

The vast majority of Milton voters are not affected by the required changes. The precinct borders of Precincts 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9 have NOT changed. However, Precinct 4 will be divided into two sub-precincts as result of the Legislative Redistricting. The precinct borders of Precincts 3, 5, 6, 7 and 10 have changed as shown on the map.

-Susan M. Galvin, Town Clerk
