Section 21603 Of Article 1. General Law Cities From California Elections Code >> Division 21. >> Chapter 7. >> Article 1.
21603
. If at any time between each decennial federal census, a city
annexes territory or consolidates with another city, the legislative
body of the city annexing the territory or the legislative body of
the consolidated city, shall reexamine the boundaries of its council
districts after the first census is taken or the first current
population estimates are obtained, following the annexation or
consolidation.
If upon reexamination, the legislative body finds that the
population of any council district has varied so that the districts
no longer meet the criteria specified in Section 21601, the
legislative body shall, within 60 days after the census is taken, or
current population estimate received, by ordinance or resolution,
adjust the boundaries of any or all of the council districts of the
city so that the districts shall be as nearly equal in population as
may be.
