On February 9 at 6:00 PM, LWV of Mendocino County will host a Zoom presentation on Redistricting by California League Board veteran Helen Hutchison. Redistricting is a key focus for the State League this year, as new information from the 2020 census affects the number of CA legislators and shapes the Congressional districts.

 League of Women Voters believes that districts should be drawn by politically independent special commissions that use fair criteria to help keep communities intact and to ensure that everyone is equally represented.  LWV of California was a key leader in establishing California’s independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, “in order to ensure that the process is transparent, the players are accountable, partisanship is minimized, and our election district maps are drawn fairly.” California’s state-level independent, non-partisan redistricting system has garnered national recognition, with built in rules to guarantee that Commission members reflect California’s diversity.

 The League works for fair maps at every level of government.  If we want better representation, we citizens need to hold our officials accountable starting with redistricting.
