The election will decide who the next mayor of Columbus will be, as current Mayor Jim Lienhoop is not seeking another term. It also will be the first election since the council district were redrawn as part of the once-a-decade redistricting process following the 2020 census and the city’s decision to adopt “second class” status.
The adotpion of second class status will expand the number of seats on the city council from seven to nine. Currently, there are five city council districts and two at-large seats. The new set-up will include six council districts and three at-large seats.
