Re-View August 2021 City of Mesa Government Public Meetings. . .The Public Record

FIOFY:  Find It Out For Yourself

PLEASE NOTE: August was the time for a series of meetings and workshops to make progress on gathering Pre-Mapping input for Redistricting - to redraw new boundaries for city council districts where the relative growth in population during the last 10 years has been out-of-balance and uneven.

REDISTRICTING COMMISSION

Per the Mesa City Charter, The Mesa City Council appoints a five-member commission composed of Mesa residents to draw the new council district boundaries. The Commission has received training from national experts in redistricting and they consider both qualitative and quantitative data, including 2020 U.S. Census data, to redraw city council boundaries.

Commission members were appointed by the Mesa City Council on April 29, 2021 and will serve until a map is adopted by the Mesa City Council in late 2021. The commission is non-partisan and is composed of volunteers who are Mesa residents.

All Redistricting Commission meetings are open to the public. Advisory board meetings operate on a hybrid system. Public participants are welcome to attend in person or via Zoom

Every ten years, following the U.S. Census, the City of Mesa is required by law to review their voting districts to ensure continued compliance with the Constitution and the Federal Voting Rights Act. Learn more about the redistricting process.
