LOS ANGELES - On November 4, 2025, California voters will cast their ballot in the statewide special election on congressional redistricting.

The election includes only one measure, Proposition 50, which is a proposal to temporarily redraw California's congressional district lines in an effort to create more Democratic seats in the House — an effort Gov. Gavin Newsom says will offset a similar move in Texas designed to create more Republican seats.

Below is a breakdown of Prop. 50 as well as key dates in the election.
