Explanation
The City of Columbus is divided into 74 wards for the purpose of conducting elections. Due to population growth in certain areas of the City it has become necessary to adjust these existing wards to ensure elections can be administered efficiently. It is now necessary to further subdivide Columbus by creating thirteen (13) new wards and amending fourteen (14) existing wards. This action is being taken upon the recommendation of the Franklin County Board of Elections and with the support of the Franklin County Democratic Party and the Franklin County Republican Party.
