Districting is different than most issues that come before the City Council. Instead of being limited to saying you support or oppose a City-prepared ordinance or resolution, you can draw a map yourself!

There are a variety of map-drawing tools available below:
1.  Paper-only maps.
2.  Paper maps with a Microsoft Excel Supplement Kit and the supplemental interactive view map.
3.  Online map-drawing tool.

When drawing a map, what criteria should I use?

Many factors may be considered, but population equality is the most important. Other factors include:

• Communities of interest
• Be compact
• Be contiguous
• Have visible (natural and man-made) boundaries
• Include respect for past voter selections
• Plan for future growth
