The panel tasked with redrawing the political boundaries for California s legislative Assembly and Senate districts, as well as the state s 53 congressional House seats, based on the 2020 census is revving up its work as it strives to send the final maps to the secretary of state in time for next year s elections. It is expected the Golden State will lose at least one congressional district when the census bureau releases the results from the decennial tally of the country s population this summer.
Most of the 14 members of the 2020 Citizens Redistricting Commission have begun holding town halls in their regions of the state to educate the public about its work and how they can get involved. People can submit their own district maps for the panel to consider via the website www.drawmycacommunity.org before it tackles drawing the new boundaries in the fall.
