Description
In 1980, California voters passed Proposition 6, which set guidelines which the legislature must follow in the drawing of new district boundaries. After the passage of Proposition 6, the Rose Institute of State and Local Government conducted a survey of the elected and appointed officials of every city and county in California. This survey asked local officials to evaluate the representation of their interests at the state level under the present redistricting, and to state their expectations for the 1981 redistricting. Local officials were also asked to rate ten different criteria according to their importance for the representation of local interests in the State Legislature. The main purpose of the survey was, in the first place, to find out from the appointed as well as the elected officials how local jurisdictions were affected by the 1973 redistricting and how they feel about the upcoming 1981 redistricting; and in the second place, how the size and the number of districts into which local governments are divided relate to these evaluations. This study analyzes the findings of this survey.
