Draw My CA Plugin for QGIS: Full Redistricting Software
During California’s 2021 redistricting process, the California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CRC) invited people who live in California to let them know how California’s electoral districts should be drawn. Draw My CA was developed by the Statewide Database to help members of the public to draw their own districts and share their redistricting plans with the Commission. Although the 2021 redistricting process is now complete, the Draw My CA plugin is still available to use. Please note that Draw My CA Districts is designed with a focus on statewide districts.
Draw My CA is a free-to-use plugin for the open-source GIS platform, QGIS. Through Draw My CA, users can create redistricting plans for the state of California. Draw My CA is available in English and Spanish.
