Zone Elections
The Pajaro Valley Health Care District, like hundreds of cities and health care districts across the state, is making a change in how voters elect its Board Members. Beginning in 2025, voters will vote for one Board Member who lives in their zone. This will replace the current system of at-large citywide elections in which voters have the ability to vote for all Board Members.
We need your help to make this change and draw new zones!
One of our primary goals when drawing Pajaro Valley Health Care District zones is to draw lines that respect neighborhoods, history, and geographical elements. So we want to know: What do you consider the boundaries of your neighborhood?
