Wednesday meeting for Edmond City Council to consider a vote to realign ward boundaries.

Edmond City Council members have moved up their regular meeting to noon Wednesday, December 21st, to consider redrawing the city's four council wards boundaries.

After each 10-year census, outlays of the wards must be evaluated, according to state law which requires the population of each ward be substantially equal.

Each ward would have between 19,342 and 21,240 voters in the proposed realignment. However, Ward 4 would have the greatest number of voters which extends east of Kelly Avenue to Bryant Avenue and south from Waterloo Road to Coffee Creed Road.

The biggest precinct would be Ward 2, which consists of the eastern part of Edmond and is more of the rural section of the city.

According to NewsOK.com, "Edmond is unique in that all voters across the city vote on the mayor and all four council members. The only time people vote just in the ward where they live is during a primary election with three or more council candidates.

The realignment would take effect in 30 days if the council approves the proposal. The next municipal election will be in 2013."
