Proposition 50 voting guide: What to do if you need a new ballot or made a mistake 

AS THE SPECIAL ELECTION TO VOTE on Proposition 50 approaches Tuesday, The Mendocino Voice has compiled a list of ballot “what-if” scenarios to help voters feel at ease in case they made a mistake on their ballot, misplaced it, or didn’t receive one in the mail.  

The sole item on the Mendocino County ballot is Prop. 50, a redistricting measure that if passed would redraw California’s congressional maps. Prop. 50 asks voters to approve redistricting that could favor Democrats in the 2026 midterm election in response to President Donald Trump’s push to redraw congressional districts in Texas to favor Republicans.
