The Valparaiso City Council was presented with a number of options, when it comes to their redistricting plan. Six maps were submitted by the public, in addition to the one drawn up by the council's co-redistricting coordinators, although one was later withdrawn.

As Valparaiso gets to work on its new city council districts, some are calling on the city to make it easier for residents to submit their own proposed maps. Those who want to draw a map for the council's consideration can pick up an information packet at the Clerk-Treasurer's Office, and turn in their finished map by noon on October 19.

Valparaiso City Council districts could be moving next year. The city council passed a resolution Monday outlining the redistricting process, following the 2020 Census.
