'Why redistricting matters in San Diego County' education tour sessions announced

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – The San Diego County Independent Redistricting Commission will hold a series of virtual meetings on why redistricting matters in San Diego County.

Redistricting takes place every 10 years and uses U.S. Census data to ensure each supervisorial district contains roughly the same number of people. Boundary lines can also shape a community’s ability to elect the representative of their choice.

Commissioners from each of the County’s five supervisorial districts will give the informational presentations. Everyone is welcome to attend any or all of the virtual meetings. (This press release was sent out by the county June 2, after the Village News press time for the June 3 issue.)

The first two IRC Education Tour meetings took place June 3 for District 5 and June 8 for District 4.

The next three IRC Education Tour meetings will take place:

• June 16 from 4-5 p.m. (District 1)

• June 23 from 12-1 p.m. (District 3)

• June 30 from 12-1 p.m. (District 2)

For more information and a meeting link, RSVP at https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/redistricting/. To request live language interpretation, call 619-409-3003 or send an email at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting to [email protected].

The meetings are informational only and not Independent Redistricting Commission hearings. Commissioners cannot accept any public input on maps, district boundaries or communities of interest.

The public can give their input at www.sandiegocounty.gov/redistricting, email [email protected] or mail comments to: Independent Redistricting Commission, c/o Clerk of the Board, 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 402, San Diego, CA 92101.

Input will also be accepted at a series of public hearings set to begin in mid-summer. Redistricting maps must be completed by Dec. 15.
