The Cleveland City Council will release the proposed redistricting map for the city on Tuesday.
CLEVELAND , Ohio - In the release, the council said:
The City Charter mandates that Council conduct redistricting after every decennial US Census and that the number of wards be based on the City’s population. The 2020 US Census places Cleveland’s population at 372,624 people, a decline of 24,000 from the 2010 US Census. With the population dipping slightly beneath 375,000 people, City Council must reduce two wards, dropping the number of ward representatives from 17 to 15.
“This once-in-a-decade opportunity required a genuine focus on addressing some of the concerns from the previous redistricting efforts and ensuring our neighborhoods and wards have fair and equal representation,” said Council President Griffin. “In 2008, Cleveland voters overwhelmingly supported tying the size of the City Council to the City’s population.
