This Week in Politics: New York City is next up for redistricting

WNYC News | Jun 11, 2022

This summer, New York City residents will have a chance to offer feedback on how to update the City Council's legislative boundaries. And the commission tasked with finalizing those maps assures residents that the process won't be anything like the state's chaotic version.

We're talking, of course, about redistricting, which happens every 10 years following the census.

WNYC's People & Power Desk editor David Cruz joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to discuss the city's redistricting process.
