Participate in Redistricting

Every ten years, after the federal census, Siskiyou County must re-establish Supervisorial districts to reflect new population data and shifting populations.

How can members of the public get involved with redistricting?

Members of the public are encouraged to provide input regarding any matters they feel members of the Board of Supervisors should consider when redrawing district lines. The Board of Supervisors will consider all input from the public, though it may not be able to make every change requested. In addition, members of the public may develop and submit their own redrawn district plans for consideration by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors encourages members of the public to consider legal requirements and traditional districting principles when providing input or submitting their own redrawn district plans for consideration.
