Aiken voters may decide on council election change
The Aiken City Council approves a first reading of a 5-1-1 election plan with five district members and one at large. Voters would need to approve the change in a referendum before it takes effect, shifting from two at large and four district seats to single-member districts plus mayoral vote. The proposal aims to ensure minority representation in districts and may reshape future council elections.
