California election results

California is holding a special election on Proposition 50, which if approved would allow the use of new congressional districts drawn to benefit Democrats, in an effort to counter redraws by Republicans in Texas and other states.

Notes: Election results are tabulated by The Associated Press. The estimated share of votes counted is based on AP analysis, and the AP also calls race winners. Here’s how the AP does that. Candidates receiving less than 5% support are not shown individually. Demographic, income and education data comes from 2019-2023 American Community Survey five-year estimates. Demographic trends are not shown for special elections or states with fewer than 10 counties reporting above 50%. County-level unemployment data shown are preliminary August 2025 rates, via the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 2024 presidential margins are based on states’ final certified results, as provided by The Associated Press.
