City Council Redistricting Process Continues

Redistricting for Baltimore City is the process of dividing the City into districts of approximately equal population for the election of members to serve on the City Council. The Mayor and City Council are responsible for redrawing city council districts. Baltimore redistricts every 10 years after the decennial census is completed.
