A unanimous vote by Turlock City Council Tuesday night will put a measure on the Nov. 4 ballot where Turlockers will decide whether to divide the City of Turlock into four equally-sized districts from which councilmembers would be elected. Turlockers currently elect their councilmembers at-large; councilmembers can live in any part of the city, and Turlockers vote in each councilmember. Due to a threatened lawsuit, the City of Turlock is in the midst of switching to district elections, where residents in each district would vote for one councilmember to represent that district. The mayor would continue to be elected at-large.
