The U.S. Department of Justice approved a City Council district map for Georgetown in December. Districts 1 and 5 are up for election May 12, and candidates will represent the newly configured districts.
Patty Eason currently represents District 1, and Pat Berryman represents District 5. The candidate filing period for those seats begins Feb. 4.
A council district map showing the new boundaries is available on the city's website at https://files.georgetown.org/2012/01/council-district-maps.
The redistricting process occurs every 10 years with the release of new census data.
