County of San Diego Independent Redistricting Commission

The County of San Diego Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) is beginning the work to redraw the boundaries for the County’s five supervisorial districts. District lines can shape a community’s ability to elect the representative of their choice.

Redistricting takes place every 10 years after the federal census. District boundaries for federal, state and local elected offices are redrawn to reflect new population data and shifting populations.    

The County’s district boundaries will change so the five County supervisors elected to represent those districts each serve about 650,000 residents and reflects the County’s diverse population.  Fourteen people were selected for the County's IRC. The process will act independently from the influence of the Board of Supervisors and reasonably represent the County’s diversity.
