On January 18, 2022, the Manteca City Council completed the district formation process by adopting an ordinance that establishes a new City district map. The ordinance establishes the boundary lines for each newly created district, implements by-district elections of four City Council Members, and establishes an at-large Mayor. Learn more about the ordinance, selected map, and election sequence at DistrictingManteca.org/Selected-Map.
While the districting process is complete, this site remains live to serve as an archive of the election changes including the schedule, draft maps, and resources.
The City of Manteca, like hundreds of cities and school districts across the state, is making a change in how voters elect its City Council. Beginning in 2022, voters will vote for one City Council Member who lives in their district. This will replace the current system of at-large citywide elections in which voters have the ability to vote for all City Council Members.
We need your help to make this change and draw new City Council districts!
One of our primary goals when drawing City Council districts is to draw lines that respect neighborhoods, history, and geographical elements. So we want to know: What do you consider the boundaries of your neighborhood?
