California Citizens Redistricting Commission

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission is an independent body responsible for drawing the state's political district boundaries for state legislative offices and the U.S. House of Representatives. Established to ensure fair and impartial redistricting, it replaces legislative control over district mapping, promoting transparency and reducing partisan influence. The commission is made up of citizens who are randomly selected, adhere to specific criteria, and work collaboratively to create districts that reflect communities of interest and maintain fair representation. Their process is open to public input, aiming to produce districts that better serve democratic principles.
