POWAY, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Tuesday, Nov. 4, is California’s Special Election Day. Voters will decide on the fate of Proposition 50, and San Diegans in District 2 will also have a special recall measure on their ballots.

Prop 50, brought forth by Governor Gavin Newsom in August, is part of the “Election Rigging Response Act.” It comes in the wake of Texas’ new congressional map, as advocated for by President Donald Trump, which gives Republicans more of an advantage in the 2026 Midterm Elections.
