New Ward Lines for Boston Signed by Mayor
Mayor Curtis has signed the redistricting bill, assuring Boston’s new ward lines. He says the division is fairer than the old one, though not necessarily best. The table uses registered voters, not all legal voters, to set ward totals, with 88,214 voters in the last municipal election.
