In 2021, the redistricting process will take place the same time a municipal election takes place. The Board of Elections has raised the question "What happens if someone's residence is moved during the redistricting process such that they no longer meet the eligibility requirement that you live in a ward for one year?" He said if you redistrict in an election year and the candidate loses their residency, the Charter would require that they wouldn't be eligible to run. This is an issue that he believes Council can remedy through a Charter change submitted to the Charter Review Commission in the future.
