The primary goal when developing election districts is to draw lines that respect neighborhoods, history and geographical elements. The City of Costa Mesa is seeking the public’s help to plan and draw new City district maps that will define the six City of Costa Mesa district borders.

The city’s demographer will review all submissions and make revisions as necessary, based on Council direction and community input.

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 to engage communities in the redistricting process by holding public hearings and doing public outreach.
