California Voting Rights Act
California · ELEC · §§ 14025 to 14032 · 8 sections
Overview
This act applies voting rights standards to the drawing of legislative district boundaries. It sets requirements that redistricting plans must satisfy and directs that maps adopted under the state's redistricting statutes conform to those requirements, extending the same standard forward to each successive redistricting cycle rather than to a single map. Its operative mechanism is compliance: districting plans are measured against the act's criteria as a condition of their validity.
