CA Redistricting Commission application deadline extended
The number of redistricting commission applications is now over 21,000!
Clearly, Californians are eager to tackle the challenge of drawing legislative districts in public for the benefit of the people and voters, not for the incumbents and political insiders.
Acknowledging the surge in interest, the California State Auditor (who is in charge of the application process) extended the initial application deadline from its original February 12 to the new deadline of 5PM on Tuesday, February 16th.

The Institute’s live charting feature provides continuously-updated charts of applications by ethnicity, political party, and region. More numbers are available live from the State Auditor’s website.
