(BCN) – Voters will cast their ballots Tuesday in a statewide special election to determine Proposition 50, a measure that would allow temporary changes to California’s congressional district maps in response to redistricting efforts in Texas.
There are other measures and races on the ballot in some Bay Area counties, including Fairfax in Marin County where voters will decide whether to recall elected officials there, and in Santa Clara County where voters will consider a sales tax and choose a new county assessor.
The last day to register to vote in the special election is October 20. Eligible citizens who miss the deadline can complete the “same day” voter registration process during Election Day at their local county elections office or any in-person voting location within their county.
