Submit maps to redistricting@cityofglendora.org. After you submit your map, the demographic consultants will generate an interactive review map which the public can view. Maps can be viewed on the Draft Maps page or on the Interactive Review Map.
It is helpful if you submit written comments with your map describing how your map was drawn to meet the required criteria. An example of this would be describing the specific neighborhoods or communities of interest that are kept within a single district.
