On Feb. 15, 2022, updated congressional and legislative redistricting maps were released. As a result, Crystal’s legislative boundaries and districts changed; therefore, Crystal must reestablish its existing ward and precinct boundaries. Crystal has limited options due to the geography of the city and new legislative boundaries. Using 2020 census data and computer software, staff refined existing wards, precincts, and polling places to meet the legal requirements of population equity. In addition, staff also considered voter turnout and efficiencies in election operations. The redistricting plan ensures that Crystal’s wards are compact and contiguous (with the exception of Ward 2, Precinct 1 which is non-contiguous but permitted), and equal in population as possible. Ward populations Ward 1 = 5,905 Ward 2 = 5,818 Ward 3 = 5,835 Ward 4 = 5,772 Ideal = 5,833 (Crystal 2020 population 23,330 divided by 4 = 5,833 per ward). Voter Right to Contest Minnesota law provides guidance to citizens of their right to contest local government election district plans. A voter’s right to contest ward plans is covered by Minnesota Statute 204B.135, subds. 1 and 3(a) and (b). A voter wishing to contest a city ward plan or compel redistricting must file with the district court in the county. The date for filing is within three weeks of when the plan is approved but no later than April 5, 2022. COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Redistricting 3.1 At the March 29, 2022 special City Council meeting, the Council is being asked to consider approval of the second reading of the ordinance amending Crystal city code, subsection 205.05, regarding wards.

The following is the proposed schedule for adoption of the new ordinance: •April 7, 2022: Ordinance published. •Aug. 9, 2022: Effective date of ordinance.
