The Policy
Establishes an independent redistricting commission to redraw city council districts for future elections
Background
In 2022, leaked audio revealed members of city council making racist and derogatory remarks about city residents and plotting to draw voting maps to favor themselves.
After Angelenos demanded action, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved a proposal for maps to be drawn by an independent redistricting commission which citizens will vote on in 2024.
