We're initiating a process to move from at-large to a district-based system of elections for City Council starting in 2026.
This change in the election process will benefit from feedback from residents who know the community best, and the City is launching an outreach process to engage residents in the district formation process.
To facilitate the sharing of information and gathering of input and feedback on the drawing of district-election maps, the City has established a website accessible by clicking the button below. Community members can also ask questions and provide input and feedback by calling (510) 583-4444 or by sending an email to districting@hayward-ca.gov.

Key Resources
City Attorney's Office

Our Mission
- To provide the highest level of legal representation when advising our clients on transactional matters.
- To effectively and vigorously advocate for the City's interests in state and federal courts and otherwise.
- To support and advance the City's objective of bettering the lives of all persons and businesses residing within the City.
