Revisions to Ward Boundaries

Federal and state law, and the city charter, require
that legislative districts (and wards) be revised
following the 10-year census so that the populations
in each of the city’s wards is “as equal as
circumstances will admit” (NH Constitution, part
Second, Article 9). The city charter directs the board
of aldermen to “equalize populations” to comply
with Constitutional requirements (Charter, Sec. 3).
