[EL] Models for local districting

[Cover, Benjamin (bcover@uidaho.edu)]

Hi all,

I'm looking for examples of good districting processes for local bodies like city councils, county commissions, or local school boards.

Until now, the Boise city council has used at-large elections. This past session, the Idaho legislature enacted a statute mandating districted elections for Boise city council. To implement this mandate, Boise needs to figure out how to district, including the composition, voting rules, and selection process for the districting body, and the substantive criteria and procedural requirements it will follow.

If there is a particular local districting body/process that you would recommend as a model for others to follow, I would appreciate your perspective.

Thanks,
Benji
