MILLSBORO, Del. — Sussex County’s status as Delaware’s fastest-growing county has driven the Town of Millsboro to redraw its three election districts to maintain balanced voter representation. The town’s goal is to keep district populations within 10% of each other, addressing imbalances created by uneven population growth. House Bill 25, signed into law May 7, authorized these changes, allowing Millsboro to update district boundaries to reflect recent demographic shifts. One district had become significantly larger than the others, reducing individual voter influence, making the redistricting necessary to ensure fairness. The new district map now meets the target population balance. Going forward, Millsboro will reevaluate district boundaries every 10 years following the census to maintain equal voter representation as the town continues to grow rapidly.
