Event Overview

California is gearing up for an unprecedented special election on Nov. 4. New congressional districts are on the ballot — and the balance of power in Congress.

This election is all about representation. President Trump ignited a mid-decade redistricting battle, demanding new congressional maps in Texas to favor the Republican party ahead of next year’s midterms. Now, California is attempting to counterbalance this move through new maps proposed in the upcoming special election.

Nonpartisan voting rights experts from Common Cause will detail what this special election means for Californians, the key information voters need to know, and how voters can find nonpartisan help making their voices heard at the polls.
