The Redistricting Committee has decided to redraw the ward boundaries to create an electoral map that ensures each person’s vote carries roughly the same weight, regardless of where they live. This is particularly important because the distribution of populations have changed over the years and the 5th Ward is roughly 705 people below the average.
Public engagement is an important part of the redistricting process. The committee is doing ward-specific listening sessions because a methodical and structured approach will allow us to have more productive discussions. Focusing on one ward at a time ensures we’re considering all of Evanston.
