Berkeley residents are invited to participate in redrawing of City Council election districts

Berkeley officials are giving city residents a unique opportunity to give perspective on what fair representation in local government looks like to them — by proposing new boundaries for the city’s eight City Council districts.

Residents and community members in this city of 121,000 are invited to propose the new boundaries — reflective of the results of the 2020 census — so that each district fairly represents the population of Berkeley without political considerations.
