Every 10 years, based on a census taken by the Federal
government, the state legislatures redraw their Congres-
sional Districts to make each one contain approximately
the same number of people. They then redraw their
state Senate and House Districts according to the same
principle. Next, the counties redraw their Magisterial
Districts and voting precincts.
U.S. Congressional Districts
The 2nd Congressional District in-
cludes seventeen counties and
stretches from the Potomac
River in the Eastern Panhandle
to the Ohio River in Jackson
County.
West Virginia State Legislature
State Senate
The 16th Senatorial District includes
all of Jefferson County and about
half of Berkeley County. It is repre-
sented by two state senators
State House of Delegates
Jefferson County has four delegate districts: 97th, 98th, 99th, and 100th.
Jefferson County is divided into five Magisterial Districts and each
is divided into voting precincts. The five Magisterial Districts are
Charles Town, Harpers Ferry, Kabletown, Middleway, and Shepherdstown.
County Commissioners, School Board members, and
Political Party Executive Committee members are elected based on
the Magisterial Districts. There must be one County Commissioner
from each District and there can be no more than two School Board
members from one District. Both are voted on by all of the voters
in the County. Executive Committees consist of one man and one
woman from each District. Only those voters in the District can
vote for their District’s Executive Committee members.
