In 2008, California voters passed Proposition 11, the Voters FIRST Act, which took control of the redistricting process for the state assembly and senate away from the lawmakers and gave it to an independent commission. Now that commission is being created, and citizens from across the state are applying to be on it.
The State Auditor’s office has opened up access to data on the applications, and below you can track the progress yourself. The Rose Institute has created dynamic graphs breaking down the total numbers of applications — by race, party, and region — using the auditor’s information.
These charts will update in real time as applications are submitted: http://rosereport.org/commission-stats/
