SAN CLEMENTE, CA — Starting Thursday, legislative boundaries have shifted, and San Clemente's supervisor now oversees an even larger coastal district.

Following the census, Orange County's local legislators — in this case, the Orange County Board of Supervisors — have selected a new map to ensure all residents get equal representation. On Thursday, those new boundaries went into play, with changes in several districts.

"Redistricting is the regular process of adjusting the lines of voting districts, including Orange County’s Supervisorial Districts, in accordance with population shifts," a spokesperson for the supervisors says.
