Californians Redraw District Lines

February 8, 2010

For the first time ever, the responsibility to redraw district lines is the hands of the People of California. 

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission needs immediate help in their effort to redraw district lines from California citizens.

In 2008, California voters passed Proposition 11, creating California's first-ever citizens' redistricting commission.

The 14-member commission will redraw the state Senate, Assembly, and Board of Equalization districts.  The legislative lines drawn by the commission will determine political representation in California for the NEXT DECADE.

District lines have historically been drawn by members of the Legislature and are important in determining the state's political districts.
