City of Alhambra's Redistricting Process
Every ten years, after U.S. Census data is released, local governments must redraw district lines to reflect how populations have changed.

The City of Alhambra is currently engaged in the Redistricting Process.

Redistricting determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped together into a district for purposes of electing a councilmember.

The City Council will seek input in selecting the next district map for our City Council. You have an opportunity to share with the City Council how you think district boundaries should be drawn to best represent your community.
To learn more about how the process works, visit our website.
