Title

Voting precincts; require county commissions to redraw following redistricting.

Description

Under existing law, county commissions are responsible for redrawing voting precincts. There is no requirement on how often precinct boundaries must be adjusted.

This bill would require county commissions to redraw voting precincts on a regular basis after redistricting legislation is passed and would require county commissions to submit a procedure on how each county commission intends to redraw voting precincts within certain prescribed parameters.

This bill would also require county commissions to redraw voting precincts not later than July 1, 2025, based on the redistricting maps adopted following the 2020 federal census.
