The California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CCRC) is a state agency created by the passage of Proposition 11 (2008), also known as the Voters First Act, and later modified by Proposition 20 (2010), the Voters First Act for Congress. The CCRC is responsible for drawing new Congressional, state legislative, and state board of equalization boundaries after every census.
Background
The CCRC was established in 2008 after voters passed Proposition 11 by a 50.8% to 41.2% vote. That measure set the duties of the commission to drawing legislative and state board of equalization boundaries after every census.
In 2010, voters passed Proposition 20 by a 61.2% to 38.8% vote. This measure expanded the commission's duties to include the state's U.S. House districts.
An attempt on the November 2, 2010 ballot to do away with the CCRC by repealing Proposition 11 (2008) through Proposition 27 (2010) was unsuccessful, with 59.5% of voters in favor of keeping the CCRC.[1]
Commission members
The 14 members of the CCRC are required to be five Republicans, five Democrats, and four unaffiliated with either party. The following individuals served on the CCRC during redistricting following the 2020 census:[2]
