Desert Water Agency transitioned from at-large to division elections in November 2020. Voters elected two board members at that time for divisions 4 and 5. The next division election was held in November of 2022 and completed the Agency's transition to elections by division.
DWA was required to redraw its Board of Directors maps based on 2020 Census data to ensure fair elections.
On April 5, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted its new map (referred to as “Map 2.1”) after significant input from the public through public hearings, workshops and email.
