Redistricting occurs ONCE EVERY TEN YEARS after the census data is released.  

THIS IS THE TIME TO ENGAGE!  

We need City and County district lines drawn to assure fair representation for various boards and councils.   The event, open to the public, will provide an overview of both the California Citizens Redistricting Commission and the Yolo County Advisory Redistricting Commission.  They are seeking input, will outline their tasks, responsibilities & mission and report on steps already taken to maintain public transparency. 

Redistricting is the process developed which allows redrawing district boundaries for each government body that uses district elections, this includes U.S. House of Representatives, state legislatures, county boards of supervisor, city councils, school boards and special districts (i.e., Water & Sewer boards). Each commission establishes unique criteria to use for their jurisdiction.

The public is encouraged to attend as additional information regarding redistricting will be available as well as an opportunity to ask questions of the commissioners presenting.    READ MORE.....
