California Common Cause is working to bring independent, community-led redistricting to jurisdictions across California. We sponsored legislation that allows cities and counties to adopt their own independent redistricting commissions; established standardized redistricting criteria to keep communities together; and expanded community access and participation in the redistricting process. With the redistricting cycle underway in California, we are developing resources to educate community groups, local jurisdictions, and members of the public about the process, including:

Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often as it will be updated over the course of 2021 with materials from Common Cause and our partners to support you and your community’s engagement in the redistricting process! Additionally, you can go to localredistricting.org for resources and guidance on setting up a redistricting commission under “Research and Resources”.

Visit our Local Redistricting Calendar to stay updated on important redistricting related dates and deadlines.

If you have any questions or would like to request assistance, please contact the California Common Cause team at RedistrictingCA@commoncause.org.

Please note: Local redistricting timelines in California may be adjusted by further legislation in response to the Census Bureau’s announcement of its updated Census data delivery schedule.
