Metro Planning released two draft redistricting maps on Friday that comply with the new state law capping Metro Council at 20 members.

Proposal A — 15 districts: 15 district council members and five at-large council members
Proposal A —17 districts: 17 district council members and three at-large council members

Residents have multiple ways to provide feedback this week: Attend one of these in-person events or submit comments virtually. The virtual option allows users to review and rate other comments and see responses from Metro Planning staff. Submissions will close on Friday, March 31 at which point Metro Planning will begin work on a second draft expected to be released next week.

Note: The maps released Friday will not necessarily reflect the final map or maps considered by council.
