Sacramento Asks Citizens To Help Redraw Boundaries With New App
The City of Sacramento, California, is opening its redistricting process to the public with the help of a free online tool built from Esri technology. Now through May 16, the City of Sacramento Redistricting Online application enables anyone to develop new district boundaries for consideration by the city's redistricting citizen advisory committee, which will make recommendations to the city council.
Every 10 years following the U.S. Census, the City of Sacramento is required to redraw the District boundaries to balance the population among 8 Council Districts. This process of balancing population is referred to as redistricting. This year, the public will help with a free online tool built from Esri technology. Now through May 16, the City of Sacramento Redistricting Online application enables anyone to develop new district boundaries for consideration by the city’s redistricting citizen advisory committee, which will make recommendations to the city council.
“By offering a central place to create and submit plans, we can expand participation and communicate the objectives and challenges of redistricting,” says Maria MacGunigal, City of Sacramento IT manager.
