Draw My CA

After the release of the Decennial Census, the California Citizens Redistricting Commission is charged with creating California's new State Assembly, State Senate, Congressional, and Board of Equalization districts. The process of creating the new districts is called redistricting

For the 2021 redistricting cycle, the Statewide Database developed three free-to-use tools to help people who live in California share their input with the California Citizens Redistricting Commission. The tools are still available for personal use or educational purposes. Learn more about each of these tools below.
