On Friday June 10, 2011, the California Citizen’s Commission released the first drafts of maps for the 2011 statewide redistricting process. These maps were built through more than 30 public hearings, public testimony from thousands of individuals, and presentations of statewide plans from leading civil rights and civic organizations.
You can find the first drafts of the maps presented by the California Citizen’s Commission here.
Redistricting Partners and Political Data have partnered to create maps and demographic breakdowns of each proposed Congressional, State Senate Assembly seat. The maps also mark where current members of each body reside.
