County Redistricting Commission

The Citizens Redistricting Commission

In 2016, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 958 requiring Los Angeles County to assemble the Citizens Redistricting Commission following the federal census.

Every 10 years the boundaries of Los Angeles County’s Supervisorial Districts shall be adjusted so that each district is reasonably equal in population, geographically contiguous, and the boundaries shall take into account the topography, geography, cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, compactness of territory, and community of interest of the Supervisorial Districts.

The adjusting, or redrawing, of boundaries is designed to ensure that local legislatures are representative of the County’s population. How and where districts are drawn can shape a community’s ability to elect the representative of their choice.
