Every 10 years, local governments use new data from the Census to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. And we are required by State law to hold public hearings in our communities withing San Mateo County, including to underrepresented and non-English-speaking communities. This effort is led by the Supervisorial District Lines Advisory Commission, a 15-person commission appointed by our Board of Supervisors in August.

Now we are asking for you to participate in these important meetings to help plan and draw new County districts. The finalized maps that you will help us create will define the five San Mateo County district borders. They will impact your local Supervisors for the next 10 years. and these new districts will impact how you elect your Supervisors for the next 10 years. This process is on a tight timeline and will be completed by the end of this year – and your voice is needed!
