"Early voting for the statewide special election begins this Saturday, Oct. 25, when voters can consider Proposition 50, a Congressional redistricting measure. Early voting is available at several early polling sites in Berkeley, including the Civic Center building. Voters can also wait and cast their vote on Election Day, Nov. 4. The Alameda County Registrar of Voters provides a map of voting centers."
"Prop 50, backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, authorizes the California state legislature to temporarily change the state's Congressional district maps in response to partisan redistricting by the Texas GOP. If the measure passes, California's new district maps would be in place only through 2030, when the next federal census is conducted. After that, the state's independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, created by a 2008 state law, would resume oversight over congressional district maps."

Prop 50 would allow temporary legislative redistricting through 2030, after which the Citizens Redistricting Commission would resume control. Several GOP-led states have recently redrawn districts, prompting California action and support from progressive organizations.
