THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits voting practices or
procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or
membership in one of the language minority groups
This can include the use of redistricting to pack protected minorities
into fewer districts than they could form the majority in (PACKING)
Or splitting compact minority population between districts to lessen
the number they could form a majority in (CRACKING)
Submitted into the public
recor for item(s) on City Clerk
VOTING RIGHTS ACT THRESHOLD
A protected minority group must be large enough and
compact enough to comprise a majority in a single -
member district
Minority voters must be politically cohesive
The majority must usually vote as a bloc to thwart the
election of the minority preferred candidate

2020 REDISTRICTING ANALYSIS
The black population in the District 5 area is relatively
compact.
Voting analysis shows that Black voters are still
politically cohesive
Voting analysis also shows that Non -Black voters still
prefer different candidates than Black voters.

TRADITIONAL REDISTRICTING CRITERIA
Compactness (a measure of a district's geometric shape)
Contiguity (all parts of the district must be connected)
Preserving communities of interest (single-family residential, high -density residential areas,
traditional neighborhoods, business districts, coastal or environmentally sensitive areas,
etc.)
Preserving the cores of prior districts (to provide continuity of representation and avoid
voter confusion)
Use of man made or natural boundaries when feasible (a river, a major expressway, major
roads such as section lines, roads, or the boundaries of traditional neighborhoods)
Any other non racial or ethnic rational or important city interest.

COMMISSION'S POLICY DIRECTION
Mathematical equality or "substantial equality"?
Determine what Traditional Redistricting principles to
employ
Provide guidance on how it wishes the these
Traditional Redistricting Criteria to be balanced.
For instance, emphasizing compactness could mean
the creation of districts that may not respect the core
of existing districts.

COMMISSION'S POLICY DIRECTION
Policy direction regarding public hearings.
Before the plan is developed, or when the draft plan is
presented for the Commission's consideration in a public
meeting?
Delay in release of Census data has impacted the timeline.
Division of Elections needs to re -precinct for County's 2022
election. Requested completion of plan by end of February 2022.
