Columbus deserves real neighborhood representation.

Right now, City Council seats are technically district-based—but candidates still have to win votes citywide, which favors big money and corporate donors over everyday residents.

Our City, Our Say is a grassroots effort to move Columbus to a true district-only voting system—and put it on the November 2026 ballot.
