City, State and County Redistricting Updates: Upcoming Meetings and Maps

As many of our readers may be aware, redistricting takes place every 10 years. The location of district lines decide which voters vote for which representative. Changing the lines will change the relevant voters, and can change the identity, allegiance, and political priorities of a district’s representative, and of the legislative delegation as a whole.

For those who want to see the recent updates and the next public hearings, please see the links below:

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission draws the lines for districts for the House of Representatives, the Assembly, the state Senate and the Board of Equalization.

• You can find the map viewer for those districts here:

• The map viewer includes boundaries for current districts, so it's relatively easy to see the differences.

• Meetings are happening daily for the next few weeks. The meeting schedule is here:
