Redistricting 2022

Redistricting occurs after each decennial census so that political representation reflects population growth and change. The last redistricting effort took place in 2010. The Code of Alabama 1975, Section 11-44C-90 sets forth redistricting procedures that include a process where the City must review and, if needed, redraw the district boundaries based on the 2020 census population with the purpose of balancing the population of each district.

Over the past 10 years, Mobile has lost population and has seen a steady migration to the west. As a result, the districts as they exist today do not have an equal population and must be redrawn.

If you are interested in reviewing the three maps up for a vote on August 9, 2022, choose one of the following:

Two (2) ways to get involved in Mobile's redistricting process:
Community Meetings and City Council Hearings

 
Community Meetings

The City and City Council will jointly host community meetings in each council district. Check back here for dates, times, and locations once they are confirmed.

You can view the calendar of upcoming meetings here.

City Council Hearings

After the Mayor's Office formally submits a map to City Council via an ordinance, Council has six months to consider the proposal. During this six month period, Council will hold public hearings in Government Plaza. Once those hearings are confirmed, the dates and times will be posted here.
