Cherokee Nation council approves representative district map
Posted: Thursday, July 19, 2012
The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is moving to a new districting system.
The current system has five districts. A new map approved by the council increases the number of districts to 15.
The new system drew opposition from some council members whose districts are being redrawn. The existing District 5 appears to be most affected -- one sitting member will lose his seat while two other members will have to move to seek re-election or give up their seats.
