Metro Council is currently made up of 35 district council members and five at-large members. | Photo by NASHtoday
Last week, state lawmarkers voted to cap the number of council members for any metropolitan government at 20. The bill, which only impacts Nashville, was signed into law by Gov. Bill Lee. We’re breaking down what we know now — but stay tuned as we learn more.
Q: How many council members are there now?
Nashville’s Metro Council consists of 40 members, including 35 district council members representing ~20,000 residents each and five at-large council members.
Q: Do I still have the same council member?
Yes, for now. Use this interactive map to find your district council member.
Q: So the bill passed — what are some potential scenarios?
Davidson County voters are set to elect a new mayor, vice mayor and Metro Council on Aug. 3. According to the bill, Metro can complete a new redistricting process this spring in time for the August election or extend current council member terms for one year.
While a formal decision hasn’t been made, Vice Mayor Jim Shulman announced two upcoming meetings to address next steps:
Council members will attend an information session on Thursday, March 16 (4 p.m.) to learn more about the redistricting process.
Council members will meet again on Wednesday, March 22 (6:30 p.m.) at a special meeting to consider any resolutions and amendments filed.
