Councilmembers for Districts 2 and 4 have not yet been elected by the voters. November 2024 will be the first election the registered voters of these districts will elect their representative for their districts.
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 districting process by holding public hearings and/or workshops and conducting public outreach, including to non-English-speaking communities.
On December 21, 2021, the National City Council voted to change the way City Council members are elected, transitioning from at-large elections for City Council members, creating districts within the city and adopting a district boundary map. The City of National City began the districting process using the 2020 federal census data.
Several public hearings were held from January through early 2022. The final map incorporates the public’s input and defines the four (4) City district boundaries. The district boundary lines will impact how residents elect their Council members for the next 10 years.
