Anaheim City Council Unanimously Approves Districting Map

Final vote sets the shape of six City Council voting districts

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Feb. 12, 2016) — On Tuesday, Feb. 9, the Anaheim City Council unanimously approved the districting map and election sequence for the November 8, 2016 election. This action adopts the Recommended Plan (Map 3), which defines the shape of Anaheim’s first City Council voting districts. The Council’s vote also set the election sequence for Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 for Nov. 8, 2016.

The remaining two districts (2 and 6) will hold elections in 2018. The districting process started in 2014 when Anaheim voters increased the City Council from five to seven members and set six City Council voting districts. Council Members shall live within their district, and can only be elected by residents of their district. The Mayor will continue to be elected “At Large” from across the City. Continue reading→
