Goochland County Opens Proposed Voting Precinct 403 for Public Comment
Goochland, VA – Election District 4, located in the northeastern area of the county, has experienced residential growth since the county adopted its new election district map after the decennial redistricting. Precinct 402 (Centerville) now has over 4,000 registered voters. In order to decrease wait time and provide better service to voters, the General Registrar and the Electoral Board have asked the Board of Supervisors to create a new election precinct, identified as Precinct 403 (West Creek).
Proposed Precinct 403 is proposed to encompass the area of the county east of I-288 generally between Broad Street Road and West Creek Parkway. The new precinct would include residents of the Avery Point Senior Living, 2000 West Creek, and the Retreat at West Creek communities.
As proposed, Precinct 403 would have approximately 1,269 registered voters and would reduce the number of registered voters in Precinct 402 to about 2,756.
The polling place for proposed Precinct 403 would be within the Avery Point Senior Living community, located at 1000 Avery Point Way which is off Wilkes Ridge Parkway (State Route 1034).
On April 2, 2024, the Board of Supervisors scheduled a public hearing to be held at its June meeting in order for residents to provide input on the proposed Precinct 403. The public hearing is scheduled for June 4, 2024, starting at 6:00 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors meeting room, Room 250 in the County Administration Building at 1800 Sandy Hook Road. Should the Board of Supervisors approve the proposed Precinct 403 on June 4, it will not become effective for at least 30 days.
Note: A primary election has been scheduled for June 18, 2024, which would be before Precinct 403 has become effective. All registered voters in Precinct 402 (Centerville) who participate in a June 18 primary will do so at the current polling place, St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church, located at 1706 St. Matthew’s Lane (State Route 708).
In the interest of transparency, and in compliance with the Virginia Voting Rights Act, the County is providing residents with the opportunity to comment on the creation of the proposed Precinct 403 for a period of at least 30 days. Name and address are required for comments to be considered. Names and comments, but not addresses, will be posted online. Comments can be provided as follows:
