Redistricting is the process of determining electoral district boundaries for various elected offices, including congressional representation. In California, this process involves a commission responsible for creating maps based on population data from the census, generally occurring every decade. The current political landscape has prompted Governor Newsom to initiate a mid-cycle redistricting campaign, advocating for voters to decide on new congressional districts in a special election. This initiative aims to benefit Democrats in upcoming elections, competing against Republican strategies prevalent in other states.
Redistricting is a logistical part of the process that determines who represents you in elected office based on where you live, focusing on maps and boundaries.
Newsom officially launched the campaign for mid-cycle redistricting in California with a rally, proposing that voters decide on new congressional districts in a special election.
The plan is to favor Democrats in California's congressional elections, counteracting Republican efforts elsewhere in the country to enhance their political advantage.
Redistricting occurs every 10 years after new census data, with California's boundaries drawn by a group of commissioners focused on serving the best interests of voters.
