The IRC is committed to hearing from as many broad, diverse, and interested voices as possible during the redistricting process so that the map we draw can accurately and fairly represent the residents of San Diego County. Thus, the IRC began public engagement, through educational sessions, during the interim period prior to the IRC’s selection of a professional outreach consultant. These educational sessions served to educate the public about redistricting in general, and the IRC in particular, as well as allow the IRC to learn more about community groups in San Diego County.
