On May 10, 2022, the Council voted to adopt new Council District boundaries that will be in place for the next ten years. The adopted map adjusts the boundaries of Districts Two through 7, while District 1 remains unchanged.  In their deliberations, the Council considered many factors, including voting precincts, natural and human-made physical barriers, future growth, equity, and the diversity and character of each District. The adoption of the new Council District boundaries finalizes the once-in-a-decade redistricting process. 

Redistricting is a process that occurs every ten years. States use the most recent census data to designate electoral boundaries within the state. The process is necessary because uneven population growth creates political inequities that, over time, undermine democratic representation. Local redistricting determines which neighborhoods and communities in the City are grouped together into districts that elect City Council members. By ensuring each district has approximately the same number of people, redistricting provides fairer representation on the City Council.
