City Council has approved a resolution that outlines principles for the 2022 City Council redistricting process based on population data from the 2020 Census. Vice Mayor Pro Tem Castex-Tatum will host the District K Town Hall meeting on May 4th at 6:00pm at the Fountain Life Center located at 14083 S. Main, Houston, TX 77035. All District K residents are invited to attend.
Each City Council district will host a town hall meeting to explain the redistricting process and to allow members of the public to give input to the City on how they want their district to look in the future. There will be multiple opportunities for residents to comment and get updates.
A Capital Improvement Project (CIP) update meeting will follow the Redistricting Town Hall meetings at the same scheduled time and locations.
The redrawn districts will aim to:
- Maintain relatively equal population numbers
- Be composed of whole county voting precincts
- Have easily identifiable geographic boundaries
- Retain integrity of neighborhoods or communities of interest
- Be compact and contiguous
- Avoid packing or cracking
- Preserve incumbent-constituency relations
Submitting a Redistricting Plan
The public is encouraged to submit a plan. Residents may propose that certain voting precincts, neighborhoods, or locations be included in a specific district. .
