City Council Districts
During the 2020 legislative session, the State passed a bill (HB413) requiring cities with populations over 100,000 people to create districts for City Council elections.
The information contained on this page was created for the 2021 election cycle to comply with the state legislation. In 2022, the Boise Districting Commission was created to update the districts for the 2023 election cycle.

Election Impact
- Council members elected by district in 2021 will serve two-year terms.
- In 2023 all six council districts were up for election using a map that was updated using 2020 census data. In 2023, odd-numbered districts ran for four-year terms and even-numbered districts ran for two-year terms so that council elections are staggered.
