Charleston City Council will consider redistricting option at its meeting on Monday. City council will get its first looking at two options for redrawing the boundaries of twenty-wards based on the city’s 2020 population. By statute, the city must draw its ward map in a way that mostly fits with the county’s precincts. Charleston’s population, as of the 2020 census, is almost 49-thousand people. The goal is to split that number evenly into 20 wards of about 24-hundred people.
