Mission Viejo Public Hearing: District-Based Elections
January 9, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The City Council of Mission Viejo will be holding a public hearing at 6:00 PM in the Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center to discuss the City’s interest in and the process for transitioning from at-large to district-based council member elections. If you live in Mission Viejo and want to make your voice heard on this subject, be sure to show up early! This is the third of five public hearings that will be held on this topic and the City Council will vote on the matter at the last one. To find out more about the hearing, visit the City of Mission Viejo’s website here.
If you’re not sure what the difference is between district-based and at-large elections, you can view the city’s description and the reason why they’ve undertaken the hearings for a potential transition here. Generally, “at-large” elections mean that every voter in Mission Viejo votes for every seat on the City Council. District-based elections split the city into smaller districts and voters of each district elect a council member from their own district. District-based elections are often favorable for smaller neighborhoods or diverse cities to have minority viewpoints find representation on a council rather than getting shut out completely.
If you have questions about what this change could mean or how to participate your local City Council meetings, let us know by emailing us info@canyondems.org.
