Community Input Sought on 2022 Council Redistricting Plan
City of Corpus Christi
CORPUS CHRISTI (News Release) – At Tuesday’s February 8 regularly scheduled Council meeting, the Corpus Christi City Council approved a resolution adopting criteria for use in the 2022 redistricting process. Redistricting is the process of drawing the lines of districts from which council members are elected. It ensures that each district has roughly an equal number of people. It is required by law, and it takes place every 10 years after the Census. Redistricting is important because it impacts how neighborhoods and communities will be represented on the City Council. The Corpus Christi City Council currently has five single-member districts, three at-large members, and one mayor elected at-large.
To ensure citizens’ voices are heard in the redistricting process, the Council approved a schedule of community input sessions to be held February 22 – March 8, 2022. Five district meetings and two general sessions will be held as follows:
ALL TIMES: 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Tuesday, February 22: General Session – HYBRID (In-Person & Virtual); City Council Chambers, 1201 Leopard Street
