As the City of Irvine continues to pursue its first City Council district formation process, the City is actively engaging residents to ensure their voices are heard in shaping the boundaries of the future City Council voting districts.
Irvine residents will have the opportunity at a special election in March 2024 to vote on whether to expand the City Council to six Councilmembers and shift to district elections. If approved, each voter would vote for one Councilmember to represent the district they live in and continue to vote for an at-large Mayor.
Residents are encouraged to draw and submit proposed voting district maps for City Council consideration in order to share their input on where district lines should be drawn. It is not mandatory for residents to submit complete maps; they can simply draw boundaries for their desired district or highlight what they consider to be their community of interest. Instructions on how to draw and submit a map, along with a video tutorial on how to use the online mapping tool, are available at DrawIrvine.org/Draw-A-Map.
The City will host seven additional community workshops to give residents an opportunity to discuss draft maps drawn by the community and provide feedback:

隨著爾灣市繼續推行其第一個市議會選區的形成過程，市政府正在積極吸引居民參與，以確保在塑造未來市議會投票區的邊界時能聽到他們的聲音。
爾灣市居民將有機會在 2024 年 3 月的特別選舉中投票決定是否將市議會擴大到 6 名議員，並轉為分區選舉。如果獲得批准，每個選民將投票選舉一名代表其居住區的市議員，並繼續投票選舉一名無任所的市長。
我們鼓勵居民繪製並提交擬議的投票區地圖供市議會審議，以分享他們對選區劃分的意見。居民不一定要提交完整的地圖；他們可以簡單地畫出他們想要的選區邊界，或者突出顯示自己感興趣的社區。關於如何繪製和提交地圖的說明，以及如何使用線上地圖工具的視頻教程，可在 DrawIrvine.org/Draw-A-Map 上找到。
市政府將舉辦另外七個社區研討會，讓居民有機會討論社區繪製的地圖草案並提供反饋意見：
- 2023 年 7 月 19 日下午 6 點 - 通過 Zoom 進行虛擬討論
- 2023 年 8 月 5 日上午 10 點 - Quail Hill Community Center, 39 Shady Canyon Dr.
