US EditionMore than 4 Million California Voters Have Sent in Their Prop. 50 Ballots so Far
More than 4 million early ballots returned in California's Proposition 50 special election, matching 2024 general election pace, with turnout expected near 50%, officials said.
- As of Friday, Political Data Inc. reports more than 4 million ballots have been returned in California's Proposition 50 special election, with about 23 million mailed.
- Proposition 50 would discard maps drawn by the state's independent redistricting commission and replace them with new maps for the 2026, 2028, and 2030 elections.
- Age- and race-based returns reveal young Latinos at 5% turnout while older white seniors make up nearly 40%, with white voters at 68%.
- With just over a week left until Election Day, vote centers have opened and are staffed to help voters fix issues, while California election officials urge Californians to vote early to avoid disruptions.
- Backers argue the maps could help Democrats flip as many as five Republican-held House seats, and the measure is part of a wider national gerrymandering fight over U.S. House control.
