Alderpersons-At-Large
*President of the Council Wards and Districts As part of the 2000 Census, municipalities were required to "redraw" their ward and district boundaries to more accurately allocate voters in each area. The City of Jefferson's goal was to change the ward and district boundaries as little as possible. However, some change was inevitable. Persons effected by the redistricting have been personally notified of the change by City Hall Staff. CLICK HERE for a Ward and District Map for the City of Jefferson.
