Overview of CVRA and
Redistricting Process
City Council Meeting 9/4/2018
Item 75C
1
What is the CVRA?
The California Voting Rights Actis a state law that
prohibits the use of At-Large election systems in local
government if there is racially polarized voting.
“At Large” is defined as anything other than a system in which an
elected official lives in a district, and is only elected by members
of that district.
“Racially Polarized Voting” is determined through an analysis
which quantifies the amount of voting which can be shown to be
correlated to race.
2
What is the CVRA?
The California Voting Rights Acttakes the principles of the
Federal Voting Rights Act and expands it regarding
districted elections in two key ways:
While Federal law uses “majority minority” districts as a standard
for vulnerability, the CVRA only requires “ability to influence.”
The CVRA requires that plaintiffs get full reimbursement for legal
fees associated with any successful challenge.

Latino and Asian Communities
There are densities of Latino and Asian population that
will need to be considered in line drawing process.
For ethnic populations we are concerned with the “Citizen Voting
•
Age Population” (CVAP) as calculated by the US Census in annually
through the American Community Survey.
Base ethnicity of the district shows 17% Asian and 60% Latino
•
CVAP. However, these populations are not evenly distributed -
there are strong concentrations of each in parts of the district.
