The Napa County Election Division is kicking off the 2021 redistricting process with a web page that features an online Community of Interest Worksheet in order to seek input from the public on redrawing district boundaries.
We need your input to redraw voting districts for Supervisors. The first way you can participate is by assisting the County in developing a list of communities of interest (COI) that can be utilized in the process to redraw district lines.
We are hosting the first public redistricting workshop virtually on Thursday September 16, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will be held on zoom and can be accessed by clicking here, also if prompted the meeting ID is 98110720775.

At the virtual public workshop you will learn how to draw your own COI and supervisor district maps on an interactive website. “We welcome public involvement in the redistricting of five supervisorial districts of which Districts 1 and 3 will be on the June 7, 2022 Primary Election ballot,” commented John Tuteur, Napa County Registrar of Voters.
Redistricting is the regular process of adjusting the lines of voting districts in accordance with population shifts. Each county with district-based elections is required to update (“redistrict”) the district boundaries every ten years, following the receipt of updated population data from the federal decennial census. You can find a map of the County’s current Supervisorial districts by clicking here and selecting to 'District Maps'.
Napa County is asking for your help to draw new district boundaries for Supervisors. The finalized maps that you will help us create will determine how we elect our Supervisors for the next decade. Our primary goal when redrawing Supervisor districts is to draw lines that respect neighborhoods, history and geographical elements while maintaining equal population.
