Below is background information on the redistricting process as well as agendas and minutes to redistricting City Council meetings.
BACKGROUND
The City of Midland is in the process of redistricting City Council districts. According to the 2020 United States Census data, the City of Midland Council Member Districts are not of sufficiently equal population and must be redrawn to comply with the one-person, one-vote principle established by the United States Constitution.
Redistricting is required when there is a population deviation of more than 10 percent between the most populous and least populous district. City of Midland Council District 1 is the most populous and District 3 is the least populous district. The deviation between these two districts is 32.17 percent. As a result, redistricting is needed to balance the single-member districts.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING APRIL 26, 2022.
