Upper Dublin Township is divided into seven wards, each represented by a commissioner. Last year, the township board of commissioners voted to reapportion the wards to ensure more equal population distribution, as required by the 2020 census.
There are a total of 26,665 residents in all seven wards, or about 3,809 per ward equally, per the 2020 Census data. In 2010, the number was 25,878. Thus, overall, the population in Upper Dublin increased by 3% in 10 years.
As of Feb. 19, 2025, the township made it official and implemented the new ward boundaries, which moves approximately 3,827 residents from their original ward to a new ward.
