New York City’s Districting Commission voted against revised maps that were to be submitted to the City Council. The initial review of the maps showed that the commissioners had managed to address some community concerns.
The process of redistricting was triggered by the decennial census count. The districting commission is redrawing the city’s 51 council districts based on the changing population sizes and demographics of each neighborhood in every borough. The ideal size in each district has to be within the “5% deviation” state law, which is basically wiggle room in a range of 168,560 to 177,204 persons per council district, said the commission.
