Did you forget to register to vote in California’s special election on Tuesday? There is still time.
California allows same day registration. Eligible citizens are allowed to cast a conditional ballot and once their eligibility to vote is verified, the vote will be counted.
Tuesday is the last day to vote on Proposition 50, a measure that would approve new congressional district lines designed to favor Democrats in the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections, overriding the map drawn by the state’s nonpartisan, independent redistricting commission.
Prospective voters can visit a polling place on Tuesday to register and then cast a ballot.
Proposition 50 is part of a spiraling national fight over redistricting, sparked by President Donald Trump, that could determine the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2026 election.
Here are some things to know about how to vote in California’s special election on Nov. 4, and where to access more information about the election.
