What is Redistricting?
Every 10 years, cities must redistrict (adjust Council District boundaries to equalize total populations) using the new Census counts
Federal and state laws apply
Cities must adopt new boundaries before April 17, 2022
The new council districts will be used until Census 2030 data are released Incumbents will complete their terms of office even if they no longer live in the district they were elected to represent
3 K~f~•yaf~•Ilyyl
