California's Congressional Districts
California's Congressional Districts are the electoral divisions used to elect representatives to the United States House of Representatives. The state has 52 districts, the most of any state, reflecting its large population. Each district is designed to have roughly equal numbers of residents to ensure fair representation.
These districts are redrawn every ten years following the national census, a process known as redistricting. The California Citizens Redistricting Commission is responsible for this task, aiming to create districts that are fair and representative of the state's diverse communities. This process impacts local politics and governance significantly.
