For the coming Nov. 4 general election, voters across the country will weigh in on a range of statewide ballot questions—from adopting a temporary congressional district map to enshrining in the constitution a citizenship requirement for voting.
Voters in six states—California, Colorado, Maine, New York, Texas, and Washington—will decide more than 20 statewide measures appearing on the back of their ballots. Among them, California’s proposal could have major implications not only for the state but for national politics as well.
California: Redrawing Congressional Districts
In California, Proposition 50 asks voters whether the state should temporarily bypass its independent redistricting system and adopt a new, legislature-drawn congressional district map for elections through 2030. The map would replace the one created by an independent citizens’ commission in 2021.
