Its backers have already said they would not use the new process until 2030.

That's in stark contrast to deadlocks elsewhere, including St. Louis County.

Because of a 2012 charter change, the redistricting process cut the number of aldermen from 28 to 14.

It reduces the number of wards from 28 to 14, as approved by voters 10 years ago.

The Board of Aldermen is legally required to do so by the end of the year in compliance with a charter amendment approved by voters in 2012.

But the big shifts won’t stop with this spring’s elections: The city is also set to reduce its number of wards from 28 to 14, ultimately shrinking the size of the Board of Aldermen by half.
