Redistricting: Making Sure Everyone is Fairly Represented in Minneapolis

Exerpt from an October 20 e-news from the City of Minneapolis:

After every census, Minneapolis updates the boundaries of its 13 City Council wards and six Park Board districts to reflect new population counts. The Redistricting Group, made up of 24 Minneapolis volunteers, builds the new maps with input from their communities. The Redistricting Group needs your help with the redistricting project to make sure all voices are heard. The 2021 municipal election is based on the 2010 census maps, but City Council members elected in November will serve a term of two years rather than four. Another City Council election in 2023 will be based on the new maps from the 2020 census. Participate in the redistricting project Explore the redistricting webpages. Draw and submit draft maps.
