California’s Redistricting Commission
Don’t Let Your Community Be Drawn Out Of The Process
What is Redistricting and Why Should Our Community Care?
Redistricting is the once-in-a- decade opportunity to redraw the State’s legislative districts. This single act may do more to influence the make-up of the Legislature and its agenda over the next 10 years than all of the elections during that period combined. Every single policy issue is affected by who is elected to the Legislature, and every single legislative election for the next decade is affected by redistricting. It’s that simple.
For the first time, this critical task will not be performed by elected officials but by a new Citizens Redistricting Commission. Those communities that participate will have more power to shape the state than ever before; those that do not will allow others to decide who will represent them for the next decade.
