"If Prop. 50 passes, California would forgo the current maps drawn by a 14-member group comprising five Republicans, five Democrats, and four commissioners not affiliated with the two major parties. Instead, new maps would favor Democrats in California's congressional elections as a way to counter similar, Republican-led plans elsewhere in the country to boost the GOP. If you're having trouble visualizing what, exactly, that could look like, these interactive maps help show both the big-picture, statewide changes and the changes to your own congressional district."
"Oct. 6 marks the beginning of the voting period for California's Proposition 50 special election, which asks voters whether to implement new, partisan congressional maps for the 2026, 2028, and 2030 elections. Big changes at a glance This map, created by the Associated Press, shows the current and proposed California congressional district boundaries. Trouble viewing the embedded map? Click here."
"This map, created by CalMatters, shows the changes that Prop. 50 would bring to your own congressional district, along with the percentage of voters gained or lost, by party."
Voting begins Oct. 6 on Proposition 50, a special-election measure to adopt new partisan congressional maps for 2026, 2028, and 2030. The proposal would replace maps drawn by a 14-member commission of five Republicans, five Democrats, and four unaffiliated commissioners. The new maps are intended to favor Democrats as a response to Republican-led mapping efforts elsewhere aimed at boosting GOP representation. Interactive maps illustrate statewide boundary shifts and district-level changes. An Associated Press map shows current and proposed district boundaries. A CalMatters map displays how Prop. 50 would alter individual districts and the percentage of voters gained or lost by party.
