City Of Minneapolis: Comment On Proposed Redistricting Maps At Two Public Hearings

Press release from the City of Minneapolis:

February 3, 2022

Two online public hearings this month will take comments on current proposed redistricting maps for Minneapolis.

The hearings are 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 9 and 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24. Both can be watched on the City's website, the City's YouTube channel, or on Comcast channels 14 or 799. People who want to comment can register online.

After every census, the Minneapolis Charter Commission updates boundaries of the City’s 13 wards and six park districts to reflect new population counts. The Redistricting Group, made up of 24 Minneapolis volunteers, builds the new maps with input from their communities for the Charter Commission to consider. The Redistricting Group needs your help with the redistricting project to make sure all voices are heard.

The Minneapolis Charter Commission is expected to approve proposed ward and park district maps at 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 2. The City Council will vote on proposed voting precincts and polling places based on the new maps at its regular meeting in March.
