Every ten years the federal government conducts a census, or count, of everyone regardless of age and citizenship status. Census data is then used to determine how many representatives each state shall have and for the redrawing of electoral district boundaries. The last redistricting process took place in 2021. For the City of Reno, it took place in 2023, this is in part because a city charter* required the city to eliminate its at-large district and replace it with a sixth ward.
