Supervisor districts were established on January 15, 2002, based on the population totals from the 2000 Federal Decennial Census. The current Board of Supervisors at that time appointed a Temporary County Redistricting/Reprecincting Commission that redrew the three supervisor districts and voting precincts in Franklin County. This was done to fulfill Iowa Code Section 331.210A(1)(a).
