<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">What is Redistricting?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Following the United States federal census that takes place every ten years, California uses census data to redraw the Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, State Board of Equalization, and local municipality
districts based on population changes. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Who redraws district lines?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The independent California Redistricting Commission (CCRC) uses the new census data to redraw Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and State Board of Equalization district boundaries. The CCRC will certify
final district maps and deliver them to the Secretary of State no later than December 27, 2021. For more information on CCRC activities, see:</span><a href="http://www.wedrawthelinesca.org"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The boundaries for local municipalities (county supervisor, city council and school board districts) are drawn by those governing bodies and not by the CCRC.
