district

Congressional districts traditionally are drawn every decade following the U.S.

Political analysts expect that significant shift toward early voting to hold true for today’s special election for Proposition 50, a ballot measure that would change California’s congressional district boundaries to favor Democrats.

Californians also will decide whether to redraw their US House district maps in a rare mid-decade redistricting, as Democrats try to counter Republicans' efforts to give their party an advantage in next year's midterm elections.

Electoral districts across the US are traditionally drawn following the national census taken every ten years, theoretically so the electoral map reflects the people who live there.

In Umatilla, that money is controlled by city and county officials, rather than traditional taxing districts like the schools and fire department.
