Redistricting

WHAT IS REDISTRICTING?
Redistricting is the process in which district maps are redrawn and used by city, county, or their political equivalent to elect public officials. This process takes place every 10 years. The ultimate goal is to divide districts into equivalent populations so the each person is equally represented in government.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
These redistricting lines will remain for the next 10 years. Where lines are drawn may determine who wins an election and, in turn, which communities have representation and what laws or policies are passed.
