California Apportionment is the process of dividing the state of California into different political districts. This process is done in order to ensure that each district is represented fairly in the state government. In California, the apportionment process is completed every ten years based on updated census data. The California Constitution, and the federal Voting Rights Act, require the state to divide itself into districts that are equal in population, compact, and geographically contiguous. The California Apportionment process consists of two steps: the creation of a Citizens Redistricting Commission (CRC) and the creation of the new district maps. The CRC is a 14-member commission responsible for creating the new district maps. The commission is made up of five Democrats, five Republicans, and four members of neither party. The commission is responsible for creating district maps that adhere to the federal and state requirements, while also considering the communities of interest in the state. After the commission has created the new maps, they are submitted to the California State Legislature for approval. There are several types of California Apportionment, including Congressional Apportionment, which is the process of determining the number of congressional seats each state is allocated, State Senate Apportionment, which is the process of dividing the state into 40 Senate districts, and Assembly Apportionment, which is the process of dividing the state into 80 Assembly districts.
