OAKLAND — Many months after it started the process, a city commission is poised to officially approve a political map that defines seven new districts for city council and school board elections over the next decade.
The boundaries help determine who runs for office and how much clout individuals and community interest groups within those districts have in voting for their representatives. The Oakland Redistricting Commission decided on a map that, if officially adopted this month, will determine the political boundaries for city council and school board races for the next ten years.
The Coliseum and the BART station have been in District 7 for more than 20 years, and while no one lives on the Coliseum property, some commissioners said during the meeting that District 6 residents lived closer to the site than the District 7 residents who were separated by industry yards to the complex and thus should have a closer tie to it by being in the same political district.
