As Californians prepare for the November 4, 2025, Statewide Special Election, voters will decide on Proposition 50, a measure that could change how congressional district maps are drawn in the state. While opinions differ on what’s best for California’s future, one thing is clear: every voice matters, and participation in this election will help shape how communities are represented for years to come.
What Proposition 50 Would Do
Proposition 50 asks voters to decide whether to shift the power to draw congressional district maps from the independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to the State Legislature.
- Supporters argue that elected officials, who are directly accountable to voters, should have more say in how district lines are drawn, allowing for greater responsiveness to public needs.
- Opponents say the change could make redistricting more political, potentially favoring whichever party is in power and reducing fairness in how communities are represented.
Regardless of which side you’re on, the outcome will affect how Californians choose their leaders in upcoming elections.
Voting Is Quick, Easy, and Secure
Every registered voter in California automatically receives a ballot by mail. You can vote your way: by mail, at a drop box, or in person at any vote center. Ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, November 4, or dropped off before polls close.
Election officials verify every ballot to ensure it is counted accurately and securely. Whether you vote early, by mail, or in person, your voice will be part of shaping California’s democracy.
Make a Plan to Vote
Encourage your family and friends to make a voting plan. A quick reminder or shared “I Voted” photo can inspire others to take part. When more people vote, every community grows stronger and more represented.
This November, Californians have another chance to make their voices heard. No matter how you vote on Prop 50, make sure your ballot is counted.
