By law, new voting precincts must be drawn based on the 2010 federal census. On May 24, 2011 the Board of Selectmen approved a new precinct map based on the one found at the link above. This map was prepared by the state using 2010 census population figures plus input from the Town as to where new growth is likely to take place. The new precinct boundaries must be approved by the state's Local Election Districts Review Commission (LEDRC) before they are considered final. If approved by the state, the new precincts will take effect on December 31, 2011.
Many Reading voters will find themselves in new precincts next year. All Town Meeting seats will be open at next spring's election as well. This means that current Town Meeting members must run for re-election if they wish to remain in Town Meeting. Some current members will find themselves running in a different precinct from the one they currently represent.
The above map is the apporved 2012 Precincts. Please contact the Town Clerks office with any questions you may have.
