Proposition 50 passed Tuesday evening with a 63.8% majority at the time of publication, and will be certified on Dec. 12. This statewide special election’s sole ballot measure will temporarily redraw California’s congressional districts from 2026-2030 as a countermeasure to Texas’ recent redistricting bill. 

Nov. 4 was the last day to vote in the California special election, with polling places closing statewide at 8 p.m. The highly divisive ballot measure, spearheaded by Gov. Gavin Newsom, passed in preliminary results with 84% voting yes in San Francisco County. 

Jason McDaniel, a political science professor at San Francisco State University, said the proposition will affect Republican-leaning Bay Area districts by making it more difficult for Republican representatives to be re-elected in the upcoming midterms. 

While McDaniel is voting in favor of this measure, he said, “it’s not great that this is happening,” considering the proposition will allow the state legislature, rather than the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission, to redraw the map.

“Independent commissions are pretty good things. There’s some flaws there, but they’re pretty good,” McDaniel said. “I think the voters in California like them overall and are supportive of them. So the fact that Democrats are doing this is going to be potentially problematic for their brand in California.”
