14.1.1. 
Within sixty days after the publication of the results of each decennial census of the United States of America, a Redistricting Commission, consisting of two Persons designated by each serving Council Member, is to be established by the County Council. One of the Persons appointed by each Council Member must be from the registered political party whose candidate for Governor of Missouri received the most votes in the most recent gubernatorial election, and the other must be from the registered political party whose candidate for Governor of Missouri received the second most votes in that election.
14.1.2. 
In accordance with a budget that must be adopted by the County Council when the Redistricting Commission is established, the County Government must provide the Redistricting Commission with the clerical and administrative assistance it requires to complete its work.
14.1.3. 
The Redistricting Commission must review the population data for Jefferson County published in the decennial census and, if the criteria for Council Districts in Section 14.1.6.2 is not met by the existing boundaries of the Council Districts, within 60 days after the Redistricting Commission is established, the Redistricting Commission must submit to the County Council for adoption a redistricting plan that re-draws the boundaries of the Council Districts and, if necessary for the criteria in Section 14.1.6.2 to be met, increases or decreases the number of Council Districts, provided that there must always be an odd number of Council Districts.
14.1.4. 
Within ten days after receiving the redistricting plan from the Redistricting Commission, the County Council must either approve or reject it by the affirmative vote of All Council Votes. If it is rejected, the County Council must advise the Redistricting Commission of the objections of the Council Members who voted to reject it.
14.1.5. 
If the first redistricting plan is rejected, the Redistricting Commission must within twenty days submit to the County Council for adoption a second redistricting plan. Within ten days after receiving the second redistricting plan from the Redistricting Commission the County Council must either approve or reject it, but the affirmative vote of 2/3rds of All Council Votes is required for rejection. If the second redistricting plan is rejected, the Redistricting Commission must file within five days a petition in its name with the Circuit Court of Jefferson County requesting a ruling whether the second redistricting plan meets the criteria in Section 14.1.6 and that if it does, an order of the court putting the redistricting plan into immediate effect. If the court rules that the second redistricting plan does not meet the criteria in Section 14.1.6 and does not issue an order putting the redistricting plan into immediate effect, the Redistricting Commission is to be deemed disbanded and a new Redistricting Commission is to be established as provided in Section 14.1.1.
14.1.6. 
The redistricting plan that is presented to the County Council and adopted by the County Council must re-establish Council Districts based on the following criteria and no others:
14.1.6.1. 
The boundaries of Council Districts must be drawn based on the total population each Council District encloses.
14.1.6.2. 
The total population of the Council District with the highest total population must not exceed the total population of the Council District with the lowest total population by more than 10%.
14.1.6.3. 
The total population of each Council District must not exceed 50,000 and must not be less than 20,000.
14.1.6.4. 
Each Council District must enclose a single contiguous area.
14.1.6.5. 
Each Council District must be composed of one or more "voting tabulation districts" as defined in the decennial census.
14.1.6.6. 
To the extent possible while meeting the criteria listed in Sections 14.1.6.1 through 14.1.6.5:
14.1.6.6.1. 
Areas served by the same federal or State of Missouri numbered highway or lettered State of Missouri highway should be in the same Council District.
14.1.6.6.2. 
Areas served by the same school district should be in the same Council District.
14.1.6.6.3. 
The length of each Council District from north to south should be about the same as its width from east to west, so that the distance from the geographic center of the Council District to its edges are approximately uniform.
