Adopt new council district map based on 2020 census data

Council District BoundariesGovernance

In Plain English

Every 10 years, cities must redraw district lines to reflect population changes from the latest census. Richmond switched to district-based elections in 2020 and now has 6 districts instead of at-large voting. If approved, this new map becomes the official district boundaries for future elections.
