Iowa City’s City Council will have a special meeting Tuesday to vote on new precinct maps.
The county’s Auditor’s Office provided the council with three precinct maps after determining that there are five precincts that have populations over the 3500 person limit. The maps are redrawn every ten years to keep precinct populations around 3000 people so that lines aren’t too long on election days.
Last Tuesday, the council rejected one of the three maps, leaving them with two options to vote on Tuesday. Once a map is selected, it must be sent to Secretary of State Paul Pate for him to sign off on. The deadline for approval of the precinct map is January 3rd.
