COLORADO SPRINGS — The City of Colorado Springs has released its redistricting plan, which will set the boundaries for city council districts for the next four years.
Each of the six districts must be equal in population and are changed every four years as the city grows. The biggest proposed changes are in districts two, five and six.
City council members will continue to serve their current districts through April of 2025. The changes will be finalized in November.
"This new map... is what the candidates will run under for the April first election," said Colorado Springs City Clerk Sarah Johnson. "It means, when you get your ballot, if you're in one of the 25 precincts that we had to shift around, you still have a voice on city council. It just may be in a different district than you previously voted in."
The city will host a public comment meeting on October 30 at the City of Colorado Springs Administration Building, which is located on South Nevada Avenue.
