A map shows the two districts for the Palm Desert City Council in effect for the 2022 general election. Voters in Palm Desert are weighing in this election on whether the city should have five council districts, a debate coming just two years after another shakeup as the result of a voting rights lawsuit. Measure B is advisory, so the city council will make a final decision after Palm Desert residents have their say at the polls. Only residents of District 2 — which includes roughly 80% of the city's population — are voting on councilmembers this year.
