California Citizens Redistricting Commission

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The California Citizens Redistricting Commission is the redistricting commission for the State of California. They made the boundaries of the districts for the State Senate, State Assembly, and Board of Equalization. The commission was created in 2010. It had 14 members. 5 of the members were Democrats. 5 of the members were Republicans. 4 of the members were from neither major party. The commission was created after the California Proposition 11 or the Voters First Act in 2008.[1] The commissioners were selected in November and December 2010. All of the members had to make the new maps by August 15, 2011.[2]

The California Proposition 20, or Voters First Act for Congress was passed in 2010. This meant that the commission also had to redraw the state's U.S. congressional district boundaries.[3]
