§ 15962 District Population Determination

• •The number of people living in an area without its own city government is counted before the first election for leaders.
• •The county leaders (board of supervisors) do the counting and write it down in the election rules.
• •This count stays the same until the new leaders (board of directors) decide to change it.

A small town without its own mayor or city council is about to have its first election for leaders.

The county leaders count how many people live there and write it down. This number is used for the election and stays the same until the new town leaders decide to count again.
