California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission: Ensuring Fair Elections, Better Representation, and Greater Accountability

California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission was created by voters to take the power of drawing political districts out of the hands of politicians and put it where it belongs — with the people.
In 2008, voters approved Proposition 11, the Voters First Act, which established an independent citizens’ commission to draw fair and impartial boundaries for the State Senate, Assembly, and Board of Equalization. Two years later, Californians voted by a wide margin (over 60%) to expand the Commission’s authority to include congressional districts as well.
The Commission is made up of 14 everyday Californians who are carefully selected to reflect the state’s diversity, maintain partisan balance, and avoid conflicts of interest. Every hearing and map-drawing session is conducted in full public view, making California’s redistricting process one of the most transparent in the nation.
Often referred to as the “gold standard” and a national model for citizen-led redistricting, the Commission is designed to ensure fair elections, better representation, and greater accountability.
