By News staff
Wednesday, October 29 (8:30am): The Fireside Room at Gateway will serve as a polling place for the California special election on Tuesday, Nov. 4 from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m., under the direction of the Contra Costa County Clerk and Recorder’s office. There is only one issue on the ballot for this special election – whether voters support Proposition 50, which would temporarily replace congressional district maps created by the nonpartisan Citizens Redistricting Commission with a modified map drawn by the state Legislature. This move, designed to create five additional congressional districts favorable to Democrats, was triggered by a move by Texas state legislators to create five districts adjusted to favor Republicans. The Citizens Redistricting Commission would resume enacting congressional district maps in 2031.
It is possible some voters, and perhaps some polling place observers, from outside of Rossmoor will be at the Fireside Room polling place that day.
