City Council Ward Redistricting

City Council Ward boundaries must be adjusted to reflect the Census 2020 population count and to rebalance the population among the seven wards. This redistricting must be completed before the November 2024 petition filing deadline for the April 2025 municipal election.  The goal is to have a new ward map selected by May 2024. 

This month and next, the Urbana City Council will be reviewing seven proposed ward maps that were submitted by members of the public. The City previously invited members of the public to participate in redrawing the maps using the Dave’s Redistricting App and Guidelines approved by the City Council.   

Council discussion of the proposed maps began on April 1, 2024, and will continue on April 8, 2024. Information is included in the April 1, 2024, City Council meeting packet.   

The public will have another chance to weigh in on proposed ward maps later this month once the Council has reviewed them and selected the finalists. Please follow this link to existing map.
