To help inform the community about the new district election system in Lompoc, the city is holding a free public information session in each of the the four new election districts.
Starting in November, Lompoc City Council members will be elected by district, instead of the formerly at-large citywide elections in which all voters had the ability to vote for all city council seats.
Two of the four city districts are up for re-election in November, and the other two are up for re-election in November 2020.
More information on the new district election process in Lompoc, including maps of the district boundaries, is available at cityoflompoc.com/Clerk/electionofficial.htm.
Lompoc residents are urged to attend the district information session for the district they live in. If someone is unable to attend the session for his or her district, they are welcome at one of the other district sessions.
The sessions will offer an opportunity for questions from the public. Spanish interpretation will be available.

District 2: Wednesday, June 6, 3:30-4:30 p.m., Lompoc High School Cafeteria, 515 W. College Ave.
District 2 Evening Session: Friday, June 22, 6-7 p.m., Lompoc Gardens Community Center, 815 W. Ocean Ave.
