Every 10 years, after the federal census, California and every state in the country – must redraw the boundaries of its Senate, Assembly and State Board of Equalization districts to reflect the new population data. How these boundaries are drawn affects how people are represented. Previously, these boundaries were drawn by lawmakers, but when voters passed Proposition 11 (the Voters FIRST Act) in the November 2008 general election, that responsibility transferred to the people in the form of a new Citizens Redistricting Commission.
Now it's YOUR chance to draw the lines!
