Dennis M. Walcott is the Chair of the NYC Districting Commission where he serves with Josh Schneps, CEO, Schneps Media as one of the mayoral appointees. The commission is tasked with creating and proposing new boundaries for City Council districts that reflect population shifts from the 2020 Census while complying with numerous city, state, and federal mandates such as protections for federal Voting Rights Act.
Dennis spoke the Redistricting Plan and the Commission and what this redistricting means for New Yorkers.
The final map goes into effect in February 2023 with all 51 seats on the ballot with new district lines later in the year.
See the commission’s website at nyc.gov/districting to view the City Council’s newly proposed 51 maps.
Anyone wishing to submit testimony on the 51 city council maps can write to the commission at publictestimony@redistricting.nyc.gov.
