More than 6,000 signatures have been collected by a group seeking to change Dearborn's city council format from an at-large body to holding district-based council elections.
Dearborn Wants Wards filed the petition with the Dearborn City Clerk's Office on June 18. If the language is approved, the city would have council members per district and only two at-large seats, for a total of nine council members. Campaign spokesperson Mona Mawari says the changes are overdue and necessary for equal representation of the city's east and south sides.
