Alta Irrigation District is beginning its redistricting process based on the 2020 Census Data. Learn more and share your input before maps are finalized on March 10, 2022.

 

Redistricting Process
Every ten years, boundaries of all local governments that elect by district, including special districts like Alta Irrigation District, are updated to reflect how populations have changed based on the most recent U.S. Census. In August 2021, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill 594 to extend the deadline for final approval of a redistricting map for special districts to April 17, 2022.

About redistricting
Under state law, divisions of special districts should:

• Be nearly equal in population,
• Be as compact as possible
• Consist of geographically contiguous area
• To the extent feasible, have boundaries that coincide with existing recognized natural boundaries
• To the exten feasible, preserve existing communities of related and mutual interest
  

For additional background information on redistricting, view our Redistricting Overview presentation. 

What to expect
The Board of Directors will be working with census data and outside consultants to assess Alta Irrigation District’s population and communities of related interests to develop preliminary options for the seven divisions of Alta Irrigation District by February 2022. A final plan will be submitted to the Board of Directors for a vote of approval at their meeting on March 10, 2022.
