Each additional language allows us to engage more Californians in the redistricting process that might not have otherwise participated,” stated Chair Jane Andersen. “We are excited to announce the availability of the COI tool in these three additional languages. The online redistricting tool allows Californians to tell the Commission what is important about their community, which neighboring communities they want to be grouped with, and allows them to draw their community on a map and submit it directly to the Commission as public input. When the Commission creates new districts, it must follow certain guidelines, one of which is to learn about communities across California and to keep communities together in the new districts when possible. SACRAMENTO, CA-Today, the 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission) and the California Statewide Database announced the availability of the online Communities of Interest (COI) mapping tool in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Tagalog, in addition to English and Spanish.Įvery 10 years, after the federal government publishes updated census information, California must redraw the boundaries of its Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts so that the state’s population is evenly allocated among the new districts.
