The resulting city council district boundaries must be balanced in population in accordance with local, state, and federal rules. This process, called redistricting, is important in ensuring that each city council member represents approximately the same number of constituents. Under Assembly Bill 849 (2019), cities and counties are required to engage communities in the redistricting process by holding public hearings and/or workshops and doing public outreach, including non-English speaking communities. For the City of Garden Grove, this redistricting process must be completed by April 17, 2022. New Census data was recently released and can be accessed HERE. Why Does Redistricting Matter To Me?

Redistricting determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped together into a district for purposes of electing city council members. The City of Garden Grove will seek input in updating the district map for its six city council districts. Garden Grove residents will have an opportunity to share how they think district boundaries should be drawn to best represent the community. What Criteria Is Used To Determine District Lines? To the extent practicable, district lines must be adopted using the following criteria, in order of priority: (1) geographically contiguous districts (each city council district should share a common border with the next), (2) the geographic integrity of local neighborhoods or communities shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division, (3) geographic integrity of a city shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division, (4) easily identifiable boundaries that follow natural or artificial barriers (rivers, streets, highways, rail lines, etc.), and (5) lines shall be drawn to encourage geographic compactness. In addition, boundaries shall not be drawn for purposes of favoring or discriminating against a political party. What Do The Existing City Districts Look Like?
