FAQs
Why is the city going through a redistricting process?
Based on the city’s election code, redistricting in Aurora occurs twice in a 10-year period, prior to the regular municipal elections held in years ending in three and nine. Redistricting ensures that each ward contains approximately the same number of residents.
What is the process for redistricting?
The public will have an opportunity to provide input on any changes to ward boundaries during the community engagement period. The council will consider any proposed changes at a future study session, and any public comments received will be provided to the council as part of their decision-making process. The Aurora Election Commission reviews the wards and makes recommendations on new ward boundaries to the Aurora City Council, with final approval by ordinance.
When will the redistricting process conclude?
Final City Council approval by ordinance must be complete 180 days prior to the regular municipal election.
