San Luis Obispo may have to change the way its residents elect City Council members.
“San Luis Obispo relies upon an at -large election system for electing candidates to its governing board,” according to a letter the group served the city earlier this year. “Moreover, voting within the city is racially polarized, resulting in minority vote dilution, and, therefore, the city’s at-large elections violate the California Voting Rights Act of 2001.”
The letter argues the group needs only show the court evidence of racially polarized voting to establish the city is violating the law and needs to move to a by-district system. During a SLO City Council special closed session meeting on Monday to discuss the lawsuit threat, two speakers spoke – one for and one against by-district voting.
