Adopt law requiring city council candidates to live in specific districts

Police & Community SafetyGovernance<UNKNOWN>Ordinance

In Plain English

Richmond currently elects all city council members citywide, meaning any candidate can live anywhere in the city. The new law divides Richmond into districts and requires council candidates to live in the district they want to represent. If approved, future council elections use this district-based system instead of citywide voting.
