Shape Austin's Future
Austin residents will redraw the council district boundaries.
Apply to be part of the process and shape Austin’s future.
Background
Austin has a process for residents to redraw the boundaries of the council districts every ten years. The boundaries of the council districts greatly impact Austin’s government and will shape how residents are represented for the next decade.
Get involved
There are two opportunities for Austin residents to be involved:
- Austin residents can apply to serve on the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. The Commission will draw the boundaries of Austin’s council districts.
- Certified Public Accountants can apply to serve on the Applicant Review Panel. The Panel will help select members for the Commission.
Residents can apply for the Panel or the Commission starting June 1, 2020.
