encoded: Back Ground For decades, California’s congressional and legislative district boundaries were drawn by the state legislature. This often resulted in gerrymandering—districts designed to protect incumbents and favor one political party. By the early 2000s, public frustration had grown because elections in California had become increasingly uncompetitive, with few incumbents losing reelection. Proposition 11 (2008) – The Citizens Redistricting Initiative In 2008, California voters approved Proposition 11, the Voters FIRST Act. <defs><g id="stk-icon-list__icon-svg-def-18f9176"> <polygon points="173.8,28.4 60.4,141.8 15.7,97.2 5.1,107.8 60.4,163 184.4,39 173.8,28.4"/> </g></defs> <path d="M256 56c110.532 0 200 89.451 200 200 0 110.532-89.451 200-200 200-110.532 0-200-89.451-200-200 0-110.532 89.451-200 200-200m0-48C119.033 8 8 119.033 8 256s111.033 248 248 248 248-111.033 248-248S392.967 8 256 8zm0 168c-44.183 0-80 35.817-80 80s35.817 80 80 80 80-35.817 80-80-35.817-80-80-80z"></path> This measure took the power to draw State Assembly and State Senate districts away from the Legislature and gave it to a new independent body: the California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CRC). <path d="M256 56c110.532 0 200 89.451 200 200 0 110.532-89.451 200-200 200-110.532 0-200-89.451-200-200 0-110.532 89.451-200 200-200m0-48C119.033 8 8 119.033 8 256s111.033 248 248 248 248-111.033 248-248S392.967 8 256 8zm0 168c-44.183 0-80 35.817-80 80s35.817 80 80 80 80-35.817 80-80-35.817-80-80-80z"></path> The Commission was designed to be independent, balanced, and transparent.

encoded: This Hot off the Presses California legislator wants to make it almost impossible to remove an inadequate or even flawed voting system AB969 will do the following. Existing law authorizes the governing board of a local jurisdiction to adopt a voting system for use in an election if the system has been certified or conditionally approved by the Secretary of State. This bill would prohibit a county board of supervisors from terminating an existing voting system contract without a transition plan and a replacement contract in place.
