The Fullerton City Council created the seven-person Redistricting Advisory Commission to represent the Fullerton community and help facilitate the current redistricting process. The City of Fullerton moved to district-based City Council Member elections in 2016, and like other districted cities, must redraw district boundaries following each decennial census. Fullerton will use data from the 2020 Census to redraw district lines to reflect how local populations have changed.

The Commission invites members of the Fullerton community to participate in the redistricting process to help draw district lines that respect neighborhoods, communities of interest, and geographical elements. The City invites residents to share feedback on areas or communities of interest, submit draft district maps and share opinions of draft maps, once available. The City will soon offer mapping tools for public use. Community members may also email comments about the process to districtelections@cityoffullerton.com.

The City has created a redistricting webpage, where residents can find background on the redistricting process, a calendar of upcoming meetings, information on how to provide public comment, and more. Throughout the redistricting process, the City will update the website to include additional details on future public hearings, mapping tools, FAQs, etc.

The next Fullerton redistricting meeting will be held via Zoom on January 29, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. To join the Zoom meeting, click the button below.
