Review the work of the Advisory Districting Committee


The Advisory Districting Committee completed its work and within the tight schedule required to determine its final recommendations on draft district boundaries maps and election sequencing. 

District boundaries are based on community


Districting takes into account population, requirements of the Federal and California Voting Rights Acts, and shall not be drawn with race as the predominate factor. A professional demographer reviewed and calculated demographic information for all draft maps. Nearly 40 draft maps were submitted by the public and reviewed by the Committee based on the legal criteria in the federal and state voting rights acts.
