Draw My California

Draw My CA Districts is a free-to-use online tool any member of the public can use to create district maps throughout the state of California and submit those maps directly to the Commission. Draw My CA Districts is available in English and Spanish. How it works: - The online platform allows users to submit a written description of their community as well as draw their community’s location on a map - Questions they are prompted to answer include: What is different about my community compared to nearby areas? - What is important to my community that is less important to people who live in surrounding areas? - “To create your map: - Zoom into your community’s location on the map - Use the drawing tools to highlight the area you consider to be your community. This doesn’t have to match the boundaries of your county or town. - Some communities are small, consisting of just a few city blocks. Others can be much larger and can include multiple cities or counties. Let us know where you consider your community to be, no matter how big or small! Your community should be drawn as one shape on the map. Avoid drawing a map that represents your community as broken up into more than one piece.” [Draw My California website]
