A proposed new voting map in Miami, known as Map 5 or P5, will make minor changes to demographics and political affiliations in several of the city's nonpartisan seats. The new map will go before the Miami City Commission on Thursday as part of a settlement in a racial gerrymandering case, The Miami Herald reports.

The proposed map comes as a result of a contentious legal battle against the city filed by voting rights activists represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which cost Miami over $1.5 million in attorneys' fees racked up by the plaintiffs.
