Resident appealed from an order denying his petition for writ of administrative mandate that would direct the County of San Luis Obispo to rescind ordinance adopted by the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors redistricting supervisorial districts following the 2010 census on the ground that it did not equally divide the population between districts and unnecessarily divides the unincorporated community of Templeton and the City of San Luis Obispo, thereby diluting the rural vote.
The Court of Appeal concluded that the Board proceeded in the manner required by Elections Code section 21500 when it adopted Ordinance No. 3218, amending chapter 2.60 of the County Code, and the deviation from equality of population was within the limits of the discretion given to the Board.
