On March 1, 2022, the City of Marina City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2022-01, implementing new City Council districts. Map 109 (with renumbered districts) was selected along with its election sequence: At-large Mayor and Districts 1 and 4 are up for election in 2022, and Districts 2 and 3 are up for election in 2024.
While the redistricting process is complete, this site remains live to serve as an archive of the election changes including the schedule, draft maps and resources.
The Redistricting Process
Every 10 years, local governments use new data from the Census to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. State law requires cities and counties to engage communities in the redistricting process by holding public hearings and doing public outreach, including to underrepresented and non-English-speaking communities. The City of Marina is asking for your help to plan, draw, and redivide new City districts.
The finalized maps that you will help us create will define the four Marina district borders, and these new districts will impact how you elect your Council Members for the next 10 years.
Our primary goal when developing election districts is to draw lines that respect neighborhoods, history and geographical elements. So we want to know: What do you consider the boundaries of your neighborhood?
