The City of Houston has extended the public comment period to receive comments, suggestions, and alternate plans from the public regarding the Proposed City Council Redistricting Plan.

Extended Public Comment Period:
Submit all comments and proposed redistricting plans by Friday, July 29
at 4:45 p.m.

All plans submitted to the City for consideration must:

  • Be in writing;
  • Be based on the 2020 federal Census;

People may propose that certain voting precincts, neighborhoods, or locations be included in a specific district.
