PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 20, 2022 – Legislation was introduced in City Council to revise the boundaries of the 10 Council districts, in accordance with the requirement that Council go through its once-a-decade redistricting process following the results of the U.S. Census.
The redistricting legislation, Bill No. 220003, was introduced on Council President Darrell L. Clarke’s behalf by Council Majority Leader Cherelle L. Parker (9th District).
The redistricting bill will now be subject to a public hearing in Council’s Committee of the Whole, scheduled to be held on Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2022, at 10 AM. That hearing will be held remotely via Microsoft Teams and can be viewed on Xfinity Channel 64, Fios Channel 40, or at www.phlcouncil.com/watch.
“We take our responsibilities seriously to revise our boundaries in accordance with the U.S. Census results once every 10-years, and as we now proceed with the bill to a public hearing, the public will have ample opportunity to let its voice be heard,” Council President Clarke said.
