Supervisor Districts of Fairfax County

Fairfax County is divided into nine supervisor districts, also historically called magisterial districts.

Each district is entitled to elect one member to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the Fairfax County School Board. In addition, each district is usually represented on one of the many boards, authorities, commissions, and committees of the county government.

Redistricting
Under section 5 of article VII of the Constitution of Virginia, the county must redefine the boundaries of the districts following the U. S. Census every ten years. Once the board has adopted a plan, it is then submitted to the office of the U.S. Attorney General for review under section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The most recent redistricting plan was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on April 26, 2011.
