Describe California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission
Describe California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission. You should start by going to their website (https://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/ (Links to an external site.)) and answer the following questions:
- Who was responsible for drawing district lines in the past, when did California change to the citizen commission and who changed it/how was it changed?
- Who is on the commission, how many seats are there, how do seats get filled and what requirements are there to be on the commission?
- What rules have to be followed when the commission draws districts (i.e. what criteria do all districts have to meet)?
