Summary
The measure adds a new Section 34 to Article VI, requiring city and county governments to draw six districts of roughly equal population and elect one board member from each. It also allows those governments to set the board members’ term lengths, with districts to be redrawn after every census. Voters would have decided the amendment in the 2026 general or a special election.
