Redistricting is the process of adjusting the geographical boundaries of congressional, state legislative, and local electoral districts to account for shifts in population over time. Municipalities in Wisconsin are required to adjust their municipal ward boundaries following the decennial Federal Census. Ward boundaries are intended to be as permanent as possible, with changes made only to accommodate changes in population, alterations in municipal boundaries, and the mathematical requirements of creating electoral districts of equal population.
Nearly all of the Ward and District boundaries needed to be adjusted. See how it will affect you by clicking on the link below.
