Beginning with the November 8, 2022 election, the Town of Apple Valley election will be based on four (4) districts and one (1) at-large Mayor.  This year, Apple Valley residents will be voting on Council Members for Districts 3 and 4 and an at-large Mayor.  Council Members will continue to serve four years terms; the elected Mayor will serve a two-year term.

Every ten years, local governments use new census data to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. Assembly Bill 849 (2019) requires cities and counties to engage communities in the redistricting process by holding public hearings and/or workshops and doing public outreach, including to non-English-speaking communities.

What is redistricting?

Every ten years, districts must be redrawn so that each district is substantially equal in population. This process, called redistricting, is important in ensuring that each Town Council Member represents about the same number of constituents. In the Town of Apple Valley, the Town Council is responsible for drawing council districts. Redistricting is done using U.S. Census data which was scheduled to be released around March 31, 2021. However, due to COVID, the Census data was pushed back to August 2021. For the Town of Apple Valley, the redistricting process must be completed by April 17, 2022.

You can contact the Town Clerk's at (760) 240-7000, ext. 7800 or townclerk@applevalley.org to find out more about how the process works.

Why does redistricting matter to me?

Redistricting determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped together into a district for purposes of electing a Council Member.

The Town Council will seek input in selecting the next district map for our Town Council. You will have an opportunity to share with the Town Council how you think district boundaries should be drawn to best represent your community.

What criteria will our Town Council use when drawing district lines?

To the extent practicable, district lines will be adopted using the following criteria:

1. Geographically contiguous districts (each Town Council district should share a common border with the next).
2. The geographic integrity of local neighborhoods or communities shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division.
3. The geographic integrity of a city shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division.
4. Easily identifiable boundaries that follow natural or artificial barriers (rivers, streets, highways, rail lines, etc.).
5. Lines shall be drawn to encourage geographic compactness.
6. In addition, boundaries shall not be drawn for purposes of favoring or discriminating against a political party.

How will our Town Council notify the public about redistricting?

The Town Council will reach out via social media and public hearings to publicize the redistricting process. Also, we will make a good faith effort to notify community groups of various kinds about the redistricting process. Our Public Hearings will be provided in applicable languages if residents submit a request in advance. The Town Council will notify the public about redistricting public hearings, post maps online before adoption, and create a dedicated web page for all relevant information about the redistricting process.

Avisos de Redistribucion de Distritos

Apple Valley Proceso de Redistribucion de Distritos Cada diez años, los gobiernos locales utilizan nuevos datos del censo para volver a trazar las líneas de sus distritos para reflejar cómo han cambiado las poblaciones locales. El Proyecto de Ley 849 de la Asamblea (2019) exige que las ciudades y los condados hagan participar a las comunidades en el proceso de redistribución de distritos mediante la celebración de audiencias públicas y/o talleres y la realización de actividades de divulgación pública, incluso en las comunidades no anglófonas.

¿Qué es la redistribución de distritos?

Cada diez años, los distritos deben ser rediseñados para que cada uno de ellos sea sustancialmente igual en población. Este proceso, llamado redistribución de distritos, es importante para asegurar que cada concejal de la ciudad represente aproximadamente el mismo número de conciudadanos. En Apple Valley, el Ayuntamiento es responsable de diseñar los distritos del consejo. La redistribución de distritos se hace usando los datos del Censo de los EE.UU., que es publicado alrededor del 31 de marzo de 2021. Para Apple Valley, el proceso de redistribución de distritos debe completarse antes de Abril 17, 2022.

Puedes contactar con el Secretario de la Ciudad en (760) 240-7000, 7800 o townclerk@applevalley.org para saber más sobre cómo funciona  el proceso.
