[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They do it after the census. It is coming up soon and there will have to be shifts - ward 6 and another I can’t remember, have gotten too populous.[/quote] Correct. There is redistricting after each decennial census since each ward must contain about 1/8 of the city’s population. The charter also mandates the wards be “compact”, so the lines only move a few blocks, if at all. Here are population numbers from December: [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtvULdaW0AAsTMk?format=jpg&name=360x360[/img] Some discussion/suggestions here: https://twitter.com/coreyholman/status/1070702337398853633?s=21 And here: https://twitter.com/bryan_in_dc/status/969049310175334402?s=21 Amd here: https://twitter.com/georgetownmet/status/1100084221853556736?s=21 [/quote]
