Election Day: What is California Prop 50 and where to vote

Election Day: California Prop 50 and Voting Information

Today is the last day for California voters to cast their ballots in the Proposition 50 special election.

Proposition 50 aims to give voters control over California's Congressional district lines. Republicans view it as a Democratic power grab, while Democrats see it as a necessary measure to counter Republican redistricting efforts in Texas.

Voting Details

Voters can mail in or drop off their ballots, or vote in person at vote centers, which will be open from 7 a.m. Anyone in line at a vote center by 8 p.m. will still be able to cast their vote.

Important Reminder

There have been concerns about potential ICE agent deployments to polling places, with Governor Newsom recently warning of this possibility amid immigration raids.

Stay in line to cast your vote, as it will still be counted.
