How Columbus will implement Issues 8 and 9

Columbus voters made a resounding statement in last week's election that they wanted to change how City Council members are elected. Now, the current council needs to put those changes in place. Why it matters: Columbus is moving to a system of direct representation, expanding council and redrawing districts in the process. Catch up quick: Voters overwhelmingly passed Issue 8 and more narrowly passed Issue 9, two charter amendments that enact a system of "ward" style representation. Issue 8 enacted district-only voting for the existing nine members. Issue 9 did the same, while adding four at-large seats and triggering a redrawing of districts. How it works: The new-look council will go through a transition period over the coming years. In 2027, five current council seats are up for election along with two additional at-large seats. In 2029, the four other current seats will be up for election along with two more at-large seats. A new district map will debut for this election. By 2030, the expanded 13-member council will be complete. What's next: Before voters see anything new, council is working to quickly assemble an independent redistricting commission, says Council Member Rob Dorans, the Finance and Governance Committee vice chair.
