Why Independent Redistricting Matters

This graph shows how in a jurisdiction with 50 people (60% Orange and 40% Purple), 5 districts can be drawn in multiple ways, but it’s not always fair. The first two examples show two ways to draw district lines in a fair manner, where the districts are drawn to reflect the population proportionally. The two examples on the far-right show ways to draw district maps in a manner that does not reflect the population fairly, which is referred to as gerrymandering.

This is why independent commissions, like California’s commission, were created, to remove the politics from the process and focus on the people.

The Commission must follow these criteria, in this order, when drawing district maps:
1. Districts must be of nearly equal population to comply with the U.S. Constitution.
2. Districts must comply with the Voting Rights Act to ensure that minorities have a fair opportunity to elect representatives of their choice.
3. Districts must be drawn contiguously, so that all parts of the district are connected to each other.
4. Districts must minimize the division of cities, counties, neighborhoods, and communities of interest to the extent possible.
5. Districts should be geographically compact such that nearby areas of population are not bypassed for more distant populations. This requirement refers to density, not shape.
6. Where practicable each Senate District should comprise two complete and adjacent Assembly Districts. Board of Equalization districts should comprise ten complete and adjacent State Senate Districts.
