Federal Voting Rights Act Challenge o Simplified explanation: A significant and concentrated "protected class" population grows large enough to be a majority of a district ■ "Protected Classes" are Latino, Black/African-American, Asian-American, or Native American 2. Size Becomes Unwieldy When residents and Councilmembers feel a City is too big to reasonably campaign in and represent the entire city a The cost of campaigns is often a factor in deciding to change 3. A Region Feels Neglected o If one part of a City feels neglected and unrepresented, it could push for districts to ensure a voice on Council NDC April 14, 2025 Apache unction Demographics 2020 Latino % of Population 0% to 25% -__ -- " 0i 25% to 35% " 0 " 35% to 50% 50% to 65% 11 16 - �� 3? 30 43 10 0 10 l 65% to 75% 39 64 ° 0 " ° 75% to 100% 0 No Population 144 - !t 103 0 0 " 4 0 0 0 ° ° e 0 " " 2020 Census Data: ° 4 170 38,499 Total Population 30 ° ° ° ° 29,283 Non-Hispanic White (76%) ° 0 6,647 Hispanic/Latino (17%) 0 10 " 0 2,569 Other (7%) 0 0 I - 0 ° 0 Latinos are 1/6 of city's population.

Buckeye and Surprise changed to districts in as massive growth began. Peoria made the change during rapid growth. The geographic concentration of Latinos was a significant issue in all but Mesa. A-jv� NDC April 14, 2025 Who Decides to Change ? ❑ A change to by-district elections must be approved by the voters Unless districts are ordered by a Judge ❑ Typically, the Council votes to put the question on the ballot o In a primary, general or special election ❑ If approved by the voters, districts are then drawn for use in the next Council election Once approved, some City Code Sections may need 1% updating to reflect the by-district elections structure NDC April 14, 2025 Who Draws the Districts ? ❑ The City Council is in charge, unless voters in a charter city create an independent commission ❑ Districts are drawn at the time of change and redrawn after every decennial Census ❑ State law requires districts be equal in population and compact in shape ❑ The process typically involves significant f public outreach and engagement NDC April 14, 2025 When Do I Vote ? ❑ Today, each voter casts: 0 One vote for Mayor every 2 years o Three votes for Council every 2 years o Each voter is one of approximately 12,000 general election voters citywide (and one of about 6,800 primary voters) ❑ In by-district elections, each voter would cast: One vote for Mayor every 2 years One vote for Council every 4 years Each voter is one of roughly 2,000 general election voters in a district (and one of roughly 1,100 primary voters) NDC April 14, 2025 Vacancies & Recalls ❑ If no one runs: o The seat is treated as a regular vacant seat, and the Council can appoint or call a special election ❑ If a seat is vacated by the Councilmember: o Just like today, the Council can appoint a replacement or call a special election ❑ In a recall election: Only the voters in the district vote on the recall and on the potential replacement candidate Only registered voters residing in the district are eligible for the seat. z NDC April 14, 2025 Expense of Districts ❑ Costs: $30,000 to $150,000 for districting and each redistricting ■ (Plus any potential litigation costs if a map is challenged) ■ Cost is driven by the level and duration of public outreach ❑ S avings: The fees paid to the County for each election may go down ■ A possible small reduction if the Mayor continues as a 2-year term ■ Larger savings every other election if the Mayor has a 4-year term AAV--Id� NDC April 14, 2025 Some Other Considerations ❑ New residents are often slow to get involved in local politics o A large new development may initially lack interested candidates — But, once established, new developments are often strong advocates of districts ❑ Impact on economic center u Residents around a "downtown" area tend to oppose expansion of businesses in the area, so district elections can either limit or enhance future economic growth (see below) ❑ Districts provide a voice, not a majority Having one local resident on Council gives an area a voice, but it still takes a majority vote to pass anything NDC April 14, 2025 General Pro's and Con's Advantages Disadvantages ❑ Create more connection between a ❑ Local focus can lead to "logrolling" voter and the representative a.k.a. deal-making and higher spending ❑ Lowers cost of campaigns and ❑ Other-district representatives may pay reduces influence of mail and other less heed to local resident concerns paid media ❑ "Not in my backyard" pressure can ❑ Creates a clear connection between reduce housing and economic growth a local issue and local leader ❑ Smaller electorates may allow ❑ Enables each region to have a voice candidates to win with small vote on the Council counts ❑ Can lead to more uncontested elections ❑ Increases interest in paid personal staff for each Councilmember NDC April 14, 2025 Decision Checklist: Factor Current Status Federal Voting Rights Act Liability Not a concern at this time. Too big for citywide elections? City's population is growing, but not exploding. Districts drawn today would be small, with roughly 1,100 primary and 2,000 general election voters in each. Do campaigns cost too much to run ? citywide? Does a region feel unrepresented / ? neglected? Any special factors for or against districts? ? The question marks indicate local decisionsNzf that NDC is not in a position to evaluate.
