The City of Colorado Springs and District Process Advisory Committee is inviting the community to take part in a series of public meetings in September to discuss potential options for redrawing the Colorado Springs City Council districts.
The public will have the opportunity to provide feedback on three different possible council district maps, along with sharing what their biggest priorities for a redistrict map should be. There will be seven different public meetings held across Colorado Springs, one in each of the current City Council districts, along with an at-large meeting that will include a virtual option to attend.
“We need feedback from Colorado Springs residents about how we redesign these maps,” said City Clerk Sarah Johnson. “By participating in the redistricting process, you are helping ensure that the City Council boundaries are fair and equitable.”
Residents can also view the proposed maps, fill out an online survey, at get more information at ColoradoSprings.Gov/2024Redistricting.

About the Colorado Springs City Council redistricting process
Colorado Springs is split up into six City Council Districts, each with an elected councilperson to represent the people living there. Every four years, the City Clerk is required by City Charter to set the six City Council district boundaries to ensure districts remain comparable in population as the City changes in population. The goals of redistricting are to ensure the districts have roughly equal population, are contiguous, are representative of their respective populations, and comply with all applicable laws. There are four different options, with pros and cons for each.
The districts were last re-aligned in 2020 and the City Clerk is now reviewing the districts ahead of the 2025 General Municipal Election. Districts must be substantially equal in population, contiguous, and comply with Voting Rights Act and other pertinent laws. The plan is not approved by the Mayor or City Council.
The City Clerk will release a preliminary district report and map in October. After further opportunity for public input, the City Clerk will prepare the final district report on setting the district boundaries no earlier than November 4 and no later than December 2.
