States and municipalities across the country are in the process of redrawing their electoral district maps following the release of the 2020 census data. This year, the City of St. Louis redistricting process includes the additional task of reducing the number of city wards from 28 to 14. The St. Louis Board of Aldermen has until December 31, 2021, to finalize the new ward map.
Join the Social Policy Institute and the Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement at Washington University for a panel discussion with redistricting local experts. This panel will explore the purpose, evolution, and process of redistricting in the United States and in St. Louis.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the panelists’ legal, political, and community expertise.
