Timeline shows the number of days a 47-ward election has been legally in effect (and therefore under preparation) versus the 25-ward election. Opponents in the Bill 5 case each claim to be the "status quo" or normal circumstances which the court should restore. In total, city officials have spent 290 days preparing for a 47-ward election versus 28 days for a 25-ward vote. During the preparations for the 25-ward vote, city officials worked simultaneously to keep the 47-ward option available.
