In the November 2018 Statewide General Election, Santa Barbara County voters approved Measure G (County Code Section 2-10.9A) that establishes an 11-person Citizens’ Independent Redistricting Commission to adjust the boundaries of the county supervisorial districts through an open and transparent process in accordance with federal and state criteria.
The commission is tasked with establishing the electoral district boundaries in Santa Barbara County for the upcoming decade using the 2020 federal census data, received in late September 2021.
