District maps, especially for state House, Senate and Congressional districts, were recently redrawn after the 2010 Census and all Rockdale County voters were sent new precinct cards.

Voters can check with the Rockdale County Board of Elections Office at 770-278-7333 about which precinct and polling station they are assigned.

Based on the changes, all voters in Rockdale County (approximately 55,000) are now in the 4th Congressional District.

On the state level, the only Senate district change was with the Lorraine Precinct being shifted from the 43rd Senate District so the 17th Senate District.

The state House districts were impacted the most, as the Georgia General Assembly renumbered all of the House districts in Rockdale, leaving House District 92 with no incumbent since it is a newly-created district.

NOTE: The new voter count is a result of voters leaving or moving into Rockdale County after implementation of redistricting.
