City Of Cupertino: Redistricting Information Sessions

Press release from the City of Cupertino:

05/26/2021

Interested in redistricting in Santa Clara County? Attend a one-hour virtual presentation to learn more!

Wednesday, May 26 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, May 29 from 2 to 3 p.m.

Redistricting is based on the idea of fair representation and determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped together into a supervisorial district for purposes of electing a Board of Supervisor member. This will influence how effectively a community is represented in county government.

We are encouraging applicants who reflect the diverse composition of our County. Robust community engagement will ensure supervisorial district boundaries are redrawn to best reflect and serve our community. The 15-member commission (three from each supervisorial district) will hold public hearings and mapping sessions, collect community input, and recommend to the Board of Supervisors an updated placement of the supervisorial district boundaries based on the 2020 census data. The district boundaries must be in place before the next election cycle, so that candidates and voters know which district they reside in.

During the redistricting process, community members will have many opportunities to participate including:

• Apply to be a member of the 2021 Advisory Redistricting Commission
• Attend and speak at the 2021 Advisory Redistricting Commission
• Submit maps electronically throughout the process for the district you want or the district map you prefer.

To learn more visit the County's website sccgov.org/2021 redistricting, read the County's press release, or email the redistricting team at 2021redistricting@ceo.sccgov.org.

Please RSVP through eventbrite and the County's redistricting team will email you the link for the teleconference meeting.
