City Commission to Consider Redistricting

The Constitution and federal courts require federal, state, county, and local jurisdictions to evaluate the districts from which public officials are elected to ensure balanced populations and equitable representation for each district. Section 3.02 of the City of Parkland (City) City Charter requires this evaluation be done every four years approximately one year prior to an upcoming election. Given the growth in the western part of the City and the associated population increase, an evaluation of the district boundaries is required prior to the November 2024 elections to ensure substantially equal populations and equitable representation are maintained within each district.

The City Commission will hold a Workshop at 5 pm on August 16, 2023, in the City Commission Meeting Room located at 6600 N. University Drive, Parkland, FL. 33067, to consider changes to the current City Commission District boundaries.

What is a municipal election?

The City of Parkland has a governing body, whereby the members are elected by the voters. The City’s Charter stipulates the terms of office and the frequency of the elections.

Candidate Qualifying - The criteria required for an elected office is contingent upon the requisites of the level of the office desired. For candidates running for Municipal offices, the qualifying officer is the Municipal Clerk. All campaign documents are therefore filed with the Municipal Clerk.

Please contact City Clerk Alyson Morales at 954.757.4132 or AMorales@cityofparkland.org for more information or to schedule an appointment.
