Last week, the city of Fullerton announced they had settled a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and a coalition of Asian-American advocacy groups that will bring the issue of district elections to a vote in the 2016 general election. This follows on the heels on the Garden Grove City Council announcing they would discuss putting such a measure on the ballot, and last year's successful vote to bring district elections to Anaheim.
