This page is a list of links to resources concerning the redistricting process in California as it relates to the June and November 2012 elections.
It will be updated as news and events warrant. News stories from July 2011 forward can be found on the archive pages.

February 2013 update: now that Proposition 40 has passed and the only outstanding issue involving California redistricting has been resolved (see below under Court Cases). It is unlikely there will be much news concerning redistricting per se for the next several years.

For the moment, I plan to leave the site up. I am aware there are now some dead links or links to stories that have been moved behind paywalls, I plan to mark them as such.
