2 <br /> vote on all candidates in the years they represent their party in a general election. <br /> Only registered voters of a particular party may vote on candidates in their party <br /> in the primary election. <br /> In creating Residential Districts,census data is the accepted standard for reliable <br /> data to ensure equally-proportioned districts. To create'a draft of potential <br /> Residential Districts, Planning staff has utilized a demographic software program <br /> to configure five districts of roughly-equal population using 1990 Census data. A <br /> map of these districts and summary data on each district is provided as an <br /> attachment. Using the 1990 Census, each district would ideally contain 18,770 <br /> persons. The five potential districts shown are within 5%of the 18,770 mean,and <br /> projections to the year 2001 show that each district would continue to contain <br /> generally the same proportion of the population. <br /> The limitation of Census geography is that the"building blocks"used to <br /> configure districts are 1990 Census Block Groups. The Block Groups do not <br /> conform to township lines or other political features,and instead use natural <br /> features as boundaries. Because of sparse population in some rural areas,many <br /> block groups are of substantial geographic size.As such,it is not currently <br /> possible to split these Block Groups in the district configuration. <br /> Legal issues related to Residential District election will be addressed by the <br /> County Attorney. Costs of implementation would need to be further explored, <br /> although costs are expected to be minimal since the only substantive change will <br /> involve Board of Elections verification of candidate residence. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: As the Board decides. <br />
