2022 Division Map Update

In accordance with Elections Code Section 22000 the District must, after each federal decennial census, adopt a resolution adjusting the boundaries of its voting districts. The voting divisions must be, as far as practicable, equal in population and in compliance with the Federal Voting Rights Act. When adjusting boundaries, the Board may give consideration to: (i) topography, (ii) geography, (iii) cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, and compactness of territory, and (iv) communities of interest. For the November 2022 election, Senate Bill 594 requires the Board to adjust the boundaries of the divisions no later than April 17, 2022.
