P a g e | 1 TRAVIS COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR-COLLECTOR AND VOTER REGISTRAR Voter Registration Division 5501 Airport Blvd., Austin 78751 512.854.9473 traviscountytax.org Date: December 7, 2021 From: Travis County Tax Office Voter Registration Division and the Travis County Clerk Elections Division Regarding: Election Precinct Boundaries Proposed Plan for 2022 Following redistricting at both the State and County level, Travis County Voter Registration undertook the task of realigning precinct boundaries. During this process, staff reviewed precinct sizes and dramatically reduced precincts that were near or exceeded the maximum size of 5,000 voters. During the process of realigning precincts, staff looked at the following as the boundary dividers: 1. Highways and Toll Roads 2. Expressways, Arterials, FM Roads 3. Neighborhood Collectors 4. Waterways—river, lake, creeks, watersheds 5. Railroads 6. Parcels—property lines 7. Parks, green belts Our goal was to bring neighborhoods back together when possible. Legislative boundaries didn’t allow us to be 100% successful, however, we were able to make modifications to legacy precinct boundaries that had split neighborhoods. We were able to reunite neighborhoods or communities of interest in many cases. A notice was mailed to both County Chairs, all election judges, and precinct chairs for both parties. In the case of the political party County Chairs, we hand delivered the notice and a copy of the backup. Additionally, the week prior to Thanksgiving, both County Chairs and key staff received email correspondence with our map link for them to share with precinct chairs for input. We consequently did receive communication back and were able in most cases to accommodate requests and/or suggestions. In some cases, we were unable to make the modifications due to legislative boundaries that do not allow us to cross over precinct lines. P a g e | 2 With new precincts created, the Division also looked at the precinct numbering system or the lack of one. With this opportunity, a system was developed in precinct numbering. This system creates communities of interest within the system. Stakeholders who will benefit with this new system are: 1. Elections Division—in planning and directing resources regionally 2. Precinct Chairs—organizing in their region 3. General Public—organized manner in which to identify where their precinct is located 4. Elected Officials and candidates—better planning in identifying precincts as they maneuver meetings in the county. The numbering system follows this rule—the County Courthouse is ground zero. From that point the first precinct in …

Korbel的不懈努力和乐观精神。特 别感谢Peck Young的倡导和一直以来的支持。 感谢《Community Impact Newspaper》、《Telemundo》、《Fox 7》、《The Austin Mon- itor》、《The Austin American Statesman》、《KUT》和《The Austin Chronicle》对选区重划进 程的报道。我们还衷心感谢Austin各地的许多场所向ICRC敞开大门,尤其是在新冠肺炎疫情期间, 让我们能够征求公众意见。感谢Dell Jewish社区中心、Gus Garcia娱乐中心、Dove Springs娱乐中 心、Northwest娱乐中心、Mayfield Cottage、South Austin娱乐中心、位于Oak Hill的Travis县社区 中心、LBJ野花中心、George Washington Carver和Austin独立学区。 最重要的是,我们要感谢Austin市民同胞的公民参与,没有他们的参与,整个过程就不可能实现。 我们希望,Austin的公民能为拥有一个独立的民有、民治、民享的公民选区重划委员会而骄傲。 执行摘要 “地图要由人民来画。” 2021 ICRC最终报告 第5页 – Austin市民地域代表性组织,2012年 根据Austin城市法典第II条第3节的规定,独立公民选区重划委员会(ICRC)具有为Austin 市的市议会区建立并采纳地图的唯一法律地位,同时保持严格的独立性,不受市议会的影 2021年10月6日,经过数周的审议和若干草案,ICRC一致表决通过了Austin市议会区的新地图, 响。 该地图将在未来十年内实施。面对2020年人口普查数据延迟和新冠肺炎疫情的限制,2021 ICRC举行 了40多次公开会议,包括全市范围内的20场公共论坛,并在市宪章规定的11月1日截止日期前对最终 地图进行了认证。 ICRC严格遵守宪章规定的七项选区重划标准,方法一节对此作了进一步详细说明。此外,委员会 还合作制定了指导工作的一套共同价值观和规范(见附录A)。在制作地图的整个过程中,下文列出的 原则为选区重划的成果奠定了基础。 平等代表权:选区重划的核心问题是平等和公平的代表权,包括历史上代表权不足的社区在市议会 中的代表权(这些社区由联邦法律予以定义和保护)。每个选区的城市居民人数应尽可能接近,根 据2020年美国人口普查,这个数字大约为96,185人。 独立意见:独立的选区重划程序使居民能够在不受政治影响的情况下,对社区的发展具有发言权。 选区重划程序的完整性取决于委员会能否纳入Austin人的声音。 快速成长和变化:独立的选区重划程序使ICRC能够专注于根据人口增长和流动情况来重划区界, 而不是关注或考虑选举结果。 第6页 为何会有ICRC:起源故事 Commissioner Application Process 319 applicants Over 300 Austin residents applied for a seat on the ICRC in 2020. 60 applicants 3 independent auditors from a pool of 44 CPAs formed an applicant review panel (ARP) and whittled the list of 270 down to 267 and finally to 60. . 8 commissioners City Auditor randomly selected the first 8 commissioners from the 60 applicants. Presented Jan. 22, 2021 6 commissioners The ICRC selected the final 6 commissioners to serve on the board. Entire ICRC in place by its meeting on June 20, 2021 2012年,Austin通过投票为公开和透明的绘制地图程序制定了标准,即联合实施10-1的市议会 结构,同时成立独立公民选区重划委员会(ICRC),为这10个单一成员议会区划定边界。2013 年,Austin成为美国第一个通过志愿服务来绘制市议会区地区的城市,该志愿服务是由一个完全 独立的Austin人团体提供的。这些历史性的里程碑不仅改变了城市的选举制度,也改变了其代表权比 例,为全国的城市提供了示范。在接下来的选举年,Austin市议会的组成经过转变,更紧密地代表该市 的不同社区。 在委员会成立的前一年,有三百一十九(319)名Austin居民申请加入委员会。市审计师办公室从 44名注册会计师(CPA)中随机挑选了三名独立审计师,组成申请人审查小组(ARP),该小组根据申 请人的选民登记历史记录、在最近的市议会选举中的参与情况、分析能力指标、公正性以及对Austin 的地理和多样性的认可程度,挑选了60名合格的申请人。申请人必须在Austin居住和行使投票权满五 年,有任何政治利益冲突的候选人将被取消资格。 2021年1月,ARP随机抽取了8人担任委员会成员。首批八名委员是: e 为何会有ICRC:起源故事 2021 ICRC最终报告 第7页 Erin Dempsey Luis Gonzalez Errol Hardin Prabhu Kannan Sterling Lands博士 Hoang Le BJ Morris Eugene Schneider Joshua Blank Sara Inés Calderón Camellia Falcon Shaina Kambo(学生代表) Christina Puentes Selina Yee 这些委员的任务是选择另外六名成员,以使ICRC的委员总数达到14人,其中包括一名学生代表。 这些初始成员花了三个月时间审议第二批六名成员,他们优先考虑地理多样性(涵盖十个选区)、性 别、种族/民族、年龄和专业经验。由此产生的2021 ICRC由居住在全部十个市议会区的成员组成,反 映了Austin的种族/民族多样性,委员年龄从24岁到80岁不等。 第二批六名委员是: 2021年6月2日,委员会全票通过推选Christina Puentes任主席,Luis Gonzalez任副主席。 第8页 委员会成员 2021年10月27日,独立公民选区重划委员会在Austin的许可和发展中心(PDC,地址:6310 Wilhelmina Delco Dr.)举行 会议,在认证Austin市议会区地图后,大家合影留念。委员从左到右是:第一排 – 副主席Luis Gonzalez (D7)、主席Chris- tina Puentes (D7)、Hoang Le (D3)、Selina Yee (D1)和Sara Inés Calderón (D2)。第二排 – Joshua Blank (D8)、Sterling Lands (D4)、Shaina Kambo (D9)、Errol Hardin (D1)、Eugene Schneider (D6) 和Erin …

Since then, I haven't received any updates on if Addison South will be included in District 2. Could an update be shared? Thank you, Persefoni On Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 11:24 AM Ersy Karayiannis Hello, I'm reaching out because I'm extremely concerned with the new maps that have been proposed for the City of Austin. District 2 should include the community of my home, Addison South. The map that has been published does not include my street and community, but everything else in the surrounding area for district 2. Will this be changed? I am going to be paying property taxes to Travis county. I don't understand why Addison South was not included in District 2. Please advise. These are brand new homes that people invested in. By not allowing us to vote, you are silencing us. Otherwise, I will begin writing a petition and go door to door. This is absolutely unacceptable. This is the second election I cannot vote in since I moved into my new home. Can you imagine my surprise last time when I went to vote and they turned me away? wrote: 1 2 Thank you, Persefoni Karayiannis CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
