Draft District Map: We Want Your Input!

The draft map pictured here is under consideration for the City of Carpinteria’s transition to district elections. Starting in the November 2022 election, Carpinteria voters will elect one City Council member from within their specific district. This map was drawn to incorporate community ideas and requirements of the Voting Rights Act. Additional feedback from members of the public is now sought. What do you think of the map above? Does it achieve the goals of being balanced in size and protect the interest of the communities within the districts? Learn more about the population and demographics of each district at http://www.drawcarpinteria.com. Send us your feedback to CarpinteriaDistrictElections@ci.carpinteria.ca.us before the City Council meeting on Feb. 28. Members of the public are encouraged to attend the meeting to learn more and/or to comment.
