Orange County Redistricting Plans Due May 18

(Santa Ana, CA) — Just one week remains to submit plans for the redistricting of supervisorial districts in the County of Orange.

The final date to submit a complete Redistricting plan is Wednesday, May 18 at 5 p.m. Questions about submitting a plan should be directed to staff at the Center for Demographic Research (CDR) at California State University, Fullerton by calling (657) 278-4670. Information about submitting Redistricting plans is also available on the County’s website at http://egov.ocgov.com/ocgov/Government/Redistricting. Computer workstations with the software needed to create a Redistricting plan are available at 35 locations throughout Orange County. A map of these sites is included on the Redistricting webpage.

A series of Redistricting Committee meetings in May and June will provide opportunities to review and comment on the plans that are submitted. Locations and times for these meetings will be determined by the Redistricting Committee during their May 12 meeting, which is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors Hearing Room at the Hall of Administration in Santa Ana.
