City of Costa Mesa
Public Hearing

National Demographics Corporation

2 Redistricting – Why Now?
Costa Mesa moved to districts in 2017 after voters
approved Measure EE in November 2016
Costa Mesa election used districts for first time in 2018 and again in 2020
Redistricting is required when the decennial Census
data is released, once every ten years
Delays in receiving the Census data have delayed states, counties, cities, and other jurisdictions throughout
California and the US
New laws like the Fair Maps Act have changed how
districts are drawn and how the process is conducted
