Every 10 years, local governments use new data from the Census to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. The City of Palm Springs is asking for your help to plan, draw, and reapportion new City districts. Even though the City just transitioned to district based elections in 2018, it is still required to redraw the lines following the release of the 2020 Census Data.
The finalized maps that you will help us create will change how you elect your City Council Members for the next 10 years.
Our primary goal when drawing 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?
Share your specific thoughts, draw a map or attend an upcoming public hearing to get involved!
This page will serve as your go-to homepage for all things Redistricting. You will find agendas for Council workshops and hearings, proposed maps for consideration, information on how you can get involved, and a list of resources if you want more information. You will also find our contact information.
Serve on a Board or Commission
Another great way to get involved with the City is to serve on a Board or Commission. The City has 12 different Boards and Commission covering a wide array of topics such as the airport, library, parks and recreation, public art, and much more.
