US EditionTracking States’ Unprecedented Redistricting Efforts
Prop 50 would temporarily shift redistricting power to the state legislature, potentially adding five Democratic seats in Congress and impacting federal legislation until 2030.
- On November 4th, 2025, California voters will decide Proposition 50 in a special election, with polls open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the measure as the sole statewide ballot item.
- Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed Proposition 50 to temporarily transfer redistricting authority from the Citizens Redistricting Commission to the California Legislature, aiming to influence district maps.
- With more than $193,000,000 raised for and against the measure, nearly 6.7 million Californians had cast ballots as of Monday, and a UC Berkeley poll by Mark DiCamillo shows voters leaning toward Proposition 50.
- Shifting district lines may change local representation as California's 52 congressional seats could see 48 go to Democrats and 4 to Republicans, potentially flipping seats.
- The measure is explicitly temporary, expiring in 2030 when the Citizens Redistricting Commission would regain control, and the campaign drew major figures including former President Barack Obama and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
