City Redistricting: Be Part of the Process
City Redistricting: Be Part of the Process
Based on the results of the 2020 Census, a committee has been formed to address redistricting in the City of San Antonio. Members of the community have been appointed by the Mayor or their Councilmember to form a redistricting advisory committee. This committee will be responsible for redrawing district boundaries after the 2020 Census revealed a change in population.

Redistricting is when council districts are redrawn and given different boundaries after a change in population. This usually happens every 10 years after the Census data becomes available. Based on the City’s growth over the last decade, council districts must be redrawn to maintain relatively equal population.

Same City, New District Lines
Based on the responses of the 2020 Census, each district’s geographical boundaries were redrawn due to the growth of population in San Antonio. San Antonio residents were educated on the process, attended 15 map drawing meetings, and submitted more than 300 public comments. The Committee was able to reflect the interests of the community to determine new City Council district boundaries with balanced representation across the districts, in compliance with the U.S. Constitution and City Charter.
