Virtual: City of Goleta District Elections Workshop – 11/4

Attend City of Goleta’s next virtual District Elections Workshop on Thursday, November 4 at 6:00 p.m. This will be the public’s first opportunity to work with final Census data to draw district elections boundaries. The City’s consultant, Dr. Daniel Phillips with National Demographics Corporation (NDC), will lead the workshop. He will be available to provide training on public mapping tools, including live demonstrations of how to use them with the final Census data, and offer feedback on any public map submissions. Spanish interpretation will be available.

With district elections, the City will be divided into four districts, and voters in each district will elect a City Council member who lives in their own district. The Mayor will continue to be elected by voters across Goleta. The City is hoping to get as many maps from the public as possible for consideration as we move to district elections in November 2022 for the first time ever. The deadline to submit a map for consideration is January 6, 2022.

The upcoming District Elections Workshop on November 4, 2021, will be held during the Public Engagement Commission meeting. A link to register for the virtual workshop is available here: https://tinyurl.com/3cjkabuv.
