Redistricted Metropolitan Council map is official

At the state level, House and Senate districts are redrawn after each decennial federal census to create districts of equal population size.

The same is true for districts of the Twin Cities metropolitan area regional policymaking body with changes to be effective in a year ending in “3.” The Legislature is statutorily charged with the redrawing task.

Effective May 20, 2023, a new law contains a redistricting map of the Metropolitan Council’s 16 districts on file with the Geographic Information Systems Office of the Legislative Coordinating Commission and published on its website March 21, 2023.

The seven-county metropolitan area population grew by 11% from the previous census, and each new district has a bit more than 197,000 people.

Rep. Mike Freiberg (DFL-Golden Valley) and Sen. Ann Rest (DFL-New Hope) are the sponsors.
