Redistricting map submission deadline Oct 15
The County of Sonoma is asking for your help to plan, draw, and redivide new County Supervisorial Districts. The last day to submit your draft redistricting map is Friday, October 15th.
A variety of map-drawing tools are available at the County's website. These include paper maps and online mapping tools that can be used to draw and submit district maps, as well as interactive maps that provide insights about the County through statistics and data.
There's also a short Map Drawing Tutorial video that provides an overview of these tools.
Why it's Important
Redistricting balances population counts within each supervisorial district, and sharing your unique point of view will help ensure our diverse communities are fairly represented by the County Board of Supervisors to have a voice at the decision-making table on issues that impact our day-to-day lives.
