Pacific Grove looks to adopt final district map for elections

PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The final step into changing from at-large elections to district ones in Pacific Grove is on the horizon with a new district map.

The City of Pacific Grove urged community members to draw maps dividing the city into six districts for the Council to overview.

The election changes come after The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) said it would be more fair to voters to have elected officials who represent where they live rather than the current at-large elections.

Twenty maps were selected for review and used to create a draft map that the city will adopt on Wednesday, March 5.

After the first reading of the adoption ordinance, a second one will take place on March 19th to implement for the district elections later.
