The U.S. Census faced severe challenges in 2020. There were natural disasters, a pandemic, earlier deadlines and the fallout is being felt locally. Last Friday, State Board of Elections officials were told that local district data based on the census results used to draw new maps will be arriving six months late this year. That may force cities in the Triad to push back local elections, keeping current leaders in office beyond their original terms.

The city of Charlotte and CMS need census data to draw new districts to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court s ruling of One Person, One Vote. With the release of that delayed, both are scrambling to determine how they can draw new maps in time for their fall elections.
The release of highly detailed, precinct-by-precinct population counts from the 2020 census has been delayed by several months, which could impact the elections for the Charlotte City Council and Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board.
The Census Bureau announced Wednesday that the data – known as PL 94-171 files may not be released until the end of July, as opposed to winter or early spring as planned.
