Preliminary Redistricting Maps Approved to Move Forward | Politics

SACRAMENTO - The California Citizens Redistricting Commission voted Friday to move its preliminary final maps to the public review stage and will vote on adoption of the maps on August 15, 2011. 

The votes brought the Commission a giant step closer to issuing final maps for U.S. Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly and Board of Equalization districts.

This is the first time in the history of California that an independent citizens commission drew district boundaries. 

The preliminary final maps can be viewed at the Commission's website at www.wedrawthelines.ca.gov
