Redistricting Committee
Altadena Library Redistricting Process Complete
To ensure more fair and representative elections, the Altadena Library District committed in 2019 to establishing Library Board of Trustee districts in Altadena rather than seats being At-Large. Under this commitment — which is in adherence with the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) — the Altadena Library District will be divided into five trustee areas, and one governing board member will be elected by the registered voters in that particular area. Voters can decide only between candidates that live in their own area, and each area elects only one trustee.
After much discussion and meetings, the Board of Trustees have voted to implement the Green D district map. Other proposed maps included Green A, Green B, Green C, Purple, and Orange (shown below).
