More information regarding the redistricting process and specific
proposals may be found here.
What is redistricting?
State law requires that Council Member Districts are of substantially equal
population (+/- 10%) and that it must be evaluated and adjusted after every
Federal Census. There are five Council Member Districts and two City-wide
positions. The deadline for the Provo City Council to adjust district
boundaries is July 27, 2012.
Citizen created maps
The City created a online interactive tool that allowed citizens to develop
their own concepts for redistricting. Although the submission period has
closed, you may view all of the submitted maps at redistricting.provo.org.
Citizen Advisory Committee
The Council's Redistricting Committee established a citizens' advisory panel to
study the citizen created maps and provide feedback regarding them. Their
report and top six maps may be found here.
