Every 10 years, local governments use new data from the Census to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. State law requires cities and counties to engage communities in the redistricting process by holding public hearings and doing public outreach. The City of South Pasadena is asking for your help to plan, draw, and re-divide new City districts. Scan the QR code to learn more about getting involved!
