"All eyes are on California this fall as voters decide whether to approve Proposition 50, a partisan gerrymandering plan with significant stakes far beyond California's borders for control of the federal government, for President Donald Trump's agenda and for Gov. Gavin Newsom's national ambitions. Proposition 50 is the sole measure on the statewide Nov. 4 special election ballot. If approved, California would temporarily set aside its nonpartisan citizen redistricting commission and adopt"
"Oct. 6: The Alameda County elections office will begin mailing out Nov. 4 ballots. You can also pick up a ballot (or vote) at an Early Voting site. Oct. 7: Secure ballot drop-off boxes open. Oct. 20: Last day to register to vote online for the special election. After Oct. 20, to register or re-register to vote, you must complete same-day voter registration and request your ballot in person at your county elections office or polling location."
Proposition 50 would temporarily suspend California's nonpartisan citizen redistricting commission and implement new congressional boundaries designed to favor Democrats for the next three election cycles. The measure is the only item on the statewide Nov. 4 special election ballot. The 12th congressional district, which includes Berkeley and Oakland and is represented by Lateefah Simon, would be largely unchanged. Ballots will be mailed to all active registered voters beginning Oct. 6. Key dates include secure drop boxes opening Oct. 7, the online registration deadline Oct. 20, early vote centers opening Oct. 25 and Nov. 1, and Election Day on Nov. 4. Voters can also find polling places online, by text, or by calling the secretary of state's hotline.
