The St. Louis Board of Aldermen agreed on a new map that reduces the number of wards from 28 to 14. The League and 27 other community groups were pleased that community members were allowed to have a meaningful and accessible opportunity to provide input.
 

Prop R on the April 2022 ballot will ask city voters to change the rules for redistricting, including establishing a new independent commission to draw ward maps. To see the new map, go to www.stlouis-mo.gov/aldermen/redistricting/.

St. Louis County:  The county's map-making process went relatively smoothly. In written testimony to the St. Louis County Bipartisan Reapportionment Board on Nov. 8, LWV of Metro St. Louis President Angie Dunlap said, “The League wants all voices considered and equitably represented. We must ensure that all communities, no matter race, background, zip code, or income, are fairly represented in the county’s map drawing process.”
