Californians voted Tuesday on Proposition 50, a constitutional amendment known as the “Election Rigging Response Act,” which would allow the state to temporarily replace congressional district maps drawn by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission with new ones created by the Legislature.

A “yes” vote means the Legislature’s maps would be used for elections from 2026 through 2030, until new boundaries are drawn following the 2030 U.S. Census. A “no” vote keeps the current commission-drawn maps in place until then.

Early results showed strong support for the measure. With about 1.3% of votes counted, the “yes” side had 105,593 votes, or 74.7%, compared to 35,772 votes, or 25.3%, for “no,” according to NBC News.

Major outlets including NBC and The Washington Post projected the measure would pass soon after polls closed.
