Monterey County Elections

Districts and Redistricting

Notice

Monterey County falls under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act and must allow all voting changes be cleared through the U.S. Department of Justice.

Each district is responsible for providing district descriptions, maps and boundary changes to the Monterey County Elections Department.

Redistricting

Every ten years, the nation completes a "census" which is the process of counting every person in the United States.

Once we know how many people live in our state we evenly divide the population into districts for State Senate, Assembly, Congressional and Board of Equalization. This is known as "redistricting". On a county level, the county is then equally divided into Supervisorial Districts.

When these boundaries changed, voting precincts changed as well.

New districts lines have been drawn for many public offices based on the 2010 Census data. The new districts will affect which candidates and contest appear on your ballot beginning with the June 5, 2012 Primary Election.
