Background on the Consideration and Implementation of a District-Based Election System 

The City of Norco was served with a demand letter from Shenkman Hughes on October 2, 2017, alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act and threatening litigation if district conversion is not implemented. Norco currently utilizes an at-large election system in which registered voters cast votes for every Council seat. Changing to district-based elections would result in the City being divided into five districts, each with one Council Member who resides in the district and is chosen solely by the voters in that district.
