Proposed redistricting plan for Huntsville draws criticism

The City of Huntsville released the draft of its 2022 redistricting plan, and it's raising some questions.


Huntsville is the fastest growing city in Alabama, so it's important that these districts are in the best interest of the community, and some community leaders are concerned.

There are five total districts and each one has around 42,000 people in it. Redistricting happens every ten years after the Census. Huntsville mayor Tommy Battle says that in 2010, we went through redistricting, and the first initial plan is a starting point.
