RALEIGH — The release of the Republican-drawn maps for North Carolina legislative district boundaries for the next decade is being delayed while legislators make changes.

The chairman of the House Redistricting Committee said the proposed boundaries for all 170 districts would not be released Monday as previously announced. N.C. Rep. David Lewis of Dunn says they’ll be made public Tuesday afternoon at the earliest.

Lewis says he and other redistricting leaders are reassessing lines after listening to speakers at last week’s public hearing on congressional districts. He says some of the comments applied to legislative districts as well.

The districts are adjusted every 10 years based on changing population patterns. Maps for more than 30 legislative districts were released last month.

The legislature is expected to approve maps by the end of July.
