Redistricting California
Why Redistricting Matters
Redistricting is the process of redrawing political boundaries — lines that define who votes for which representatives. These lines influence everything from local city councils to congressional seats in Washington, D.C.
What’s happening now is a national battle over congressional maps, which dictate who represents you in the U.S. House of Representatives. Though cities and counties manage their own redistricting processes, the current spotlight is solely on federal districts.
In theory, redistricting ensures fair representation. In practice, it’s often manipulated — a tactic known as gerrymandering — to favor one party or suppress the influence of certain communities.
