Presentation of Finalist Plan
1 Notes about the Finalist Map
• The Finalist Map complies with the basic districting criteria. • It incorporates public input, including parts of maps, Communities of Interest (COIs) and Neighborhoods.
• Districting is a process of constraints: not all public input and all neighborhoods could be maintained in the Finalist because population equality is the first criterion.
• This process benefitted from the input of the residents of Hayward who shared information about their communities! • The districts were previously labeled with letters and are now numbered north to south, analogous to how numbers
for state legislative districts are assigned.

Sequencing
• Sequencing will determine which of the new
districts will be electing Council Members in 2026
and in 2028
• There are 2 council seats up for election in 2026 and 4 in 2028
• We are encouraging the public to weigh in on which
seats should go first, i.e. in 2026 and which in 2028
• The California Voting Rights Act provides that in
deciding sequencing, the Council “shall give special
consideration to the purposes” of the CVRA and
“take into account the preferences expressed by
members of the districts”
