Save the date, April 16th, for Part 2 of the Redistricting Webinar Series brought to you by RCRC and CSAC!
On Friday, over two-hundred-and-fifty county staff and supervisors joined CSAC and RCRC for Part 1 of the Redistricting Webinar Series breaking down all you need to know about redistricting for your county. Part 1 focused on legal requirements, including the Voting Rights Act and changes as a result of AB 849 (2019) to provide a working knowledge of the technical aspect of redistricting.
A thorough presentation by Chris Skinnell and Marguerite Leoni of Nielsen Merksamer and Douglas Johnson of the National Demographics Corporation provided counties with knowledge and insight to assist with the technicalities of redistricting. The presentation slides are available here for download. In case you missed it, the full presentation is available for viewing here.
The webinar series is open to all supervisor and county staff. On April 16th, Part 2 will be a conversation on best practices and what you can expect the redistricting process to look like on the ground. If you have any questions please reach out to Dorothy Poole (RCRC) or Ada Waelder (CSAC).
