In 2018, the City of Columbus voted to divide itself into nine districts and increase the number of council members from seven to nine, with each district being represented by one council member. The election in 2023 will be the first time that Columbus voters have the opportunity to vote within this system.

Columbus Districts is a project of The Confluence Cast and Columbus Underground, meant to provide a greater understanding of the transition to Columbus City Council Residential Districts, exhibit the unique nature of each district, and invite civic engagement from all Columbusites.
