City of Rome v. United States, 446 U.S. 156 (1980),^[1] was a case concerning whether the City of Rome had violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in making certain changes in its electoral system.

Background

Before the amendments at issue in this case, Rome's city charter provided for a nine-member City Commission and a five-member Board of Education to be elected concurrently on an at-large basis by a plurality of the vote. The city was divided into nine wards, with one city commissioner from each ward to be chosen in the city-wide election. There was no residency requirement for Board of Education candidates.
