SUMMARY

Consolidates authority for establishing state Assembly, Senate, and Board of Equalization districts with elected representatives who draw congressional districts.

Fiscal Impact:

Possible reduction of state redistricting costs of around $1 million over the next year. Likely reduction of these costs of a few million dollars once every ten years beginning in 2020.

WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS

A YES vote on this measure means:

The responsibility to determine the boundaries of State Legislature and Board of Equalization districts would be returned to the Legislature. The Citizens Redistricting Commission, established by Proposition 11 in 2008 to perform this function, would be eliminated. (Proposition 20­on this ballot also concerns redistricting issues. If both Proposition 27­and Proposition 20­are approved by voters, the proposition receiving the greater number of “yes” votes would be the only one to go into effect.)

A NO vote on this measure means:

The responsibility to determine the boundaries of Legislature and Board of Equalization districts would remain with the Citizens Redistricting Commission.
