"All eyes are on California this fall as voters decide whether to approve Proposition 50, a partisan gerrymandering plan with significant stakes far beyond California's borders for control of the federal government, for President Donald Trump's agenda and for Gov. Gavin Newsom's national ambitions. Proposition 50 is the sole measure on the statewide Nov. 4 special election ballot. If approved, California would temporarily set aside its nonpartisan citizen redistricting commission"
"Oct. 6: The Alameda County elections office will begin mailing out Nov. 4 ballots. You can also pick up a ballot (or vote) at an Early Voting site. Oct. 7: Secure ballot drop-off boxes open. Oct. 20: Last day to register to vote online for the special election. After Oct. 20, to register or re-register to vote, you must complete same-day voter registration and request your ballot in person at your county elections office"
"Does everyone get a ballot in the mail? Yes. Under state law, vote-by-mail ballots are sent to every active registered voter. When will I receive my mail-in-ballot? Counties will begin mailing ballots by Oct. 6. Can I vote in person? Where is my polling place or vote center? Yes, though mailing your ballot as soon as possible is the best way to get your vote counted fast."
Proposition 50 would temporarily suspend the nonpartisan citizen redistricting commission and impose new congressional boundaries designed to favor Democrats for the next three election cycles. The measure is the only statewide item on the Nov. 4 special election ballot. Alameda County will begin mailing ballots Oct. 6, with secure drop boxes opening Oct. 7 and early vote centers opening Oct. 25; more centers open Nov. 1. Oct. 20 is the online voter registration deadline; after that, same-day registration requires in-person requests. Under state law, vote-by-mail ballots are sent to every active registered voter. Voters can locate polling places online, by texting VOTE to GOVOTE, or calling the secretary of state's hotline.
