Citizens Redistricting Commission
Asks Public to Pass the Word to Friends and Neighbors to Submit Their Comments

Sacramento, CA (June 24, 2011) -- 

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission is asking the public to submit public testimony on its first round of draft Congressional, legislative and Board of Equalization district maps by 5:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 28th.  The public can submit written testimony by e-mail to [email protected], or by fax to 916-651-5711.  The Commission is asking those that receive this notice to e-mail it to neighboring members of their community.
 
The Commission is also holding public hearings through June 28th.  For more information on the hearings go to www.wedrawthelines.ca.gov.
 
The Commission needs to hear what the public thinks of the first Draft Maps.    

• Do you think the Commission understood your testimony about your community of interest? 
• Do you think the Commission did not have enough testimony about your community of interest?
• Do you have a suggestion that would make your district better reflect the interests of its residents, for example by moving the boundaries to include (or exclude) certain areas?

The Commission is eager to accept your supplemental attachments such as maps. The following file formats are supported: .pdf and .jpg. Files not submitted in this format will not be posted on the Public Comments page.

 
The Commission will release its second round of draft maps on July 14, 2011.
