Reapportionment is the permanent process by which the City’s 15 Aldermanic seats will be redistributed among the 5 newly-created three-member Aldermen Districts. Redistricting is the process of adjusting district every ten years following the census, so that each district will encompass one-fifth of the City’s population.
As a voter within a particular district, you will choose from among candidates who reside in your own district and who seek your vote to serve as your area’s representative on the City’s Board of Aldermen.
The City’s voters authorized the City of Waterbury to do so when they amended the City’s Charter in the November 2014 general election. Waterbury currently elects its Aldermen “at large,” which means that every voter in Waterbury casts a ballot to elect all 15 Aldermen regardless of where they live within the City. At the voters’ direction, the City must now change over to a “by-district” election method. Under this new method, the City will establish five districts, with three Aldermen being elected from each district within Waterbury. A voter will be allowed to vote for aldermen within the voter’s district.
