Timeline

Political Context
Opponents of current election procedures often point to the complexities introduced by Proposition 50 as a hurdle for voter understanding. Advocacy groups frequently argue that such legislative mandates can confuse the electorate regarding candidate eligibility.
Voters should be prepared to cast ballots for three different congressional districts, which may change their specific representation in Congress. This election cycle will officially determine the final candidates following the conclusions of the June primary process.
The takeaway
Voters should verify their assigned district to ensure they are casting a ballot for the correct congressional race. Reviewing the results of the June primary can provide additional context on the candidates appearing on the November 3 ballot.
