Seal Beach Voter Guide

What It Means:

Proposition 50 is a direct attack on fair elections and voter trust. Since 2010, California’s independent redistricting commission has been responsible for drawing political maps, ensuring that voters—not politicians—choose their representatives. Proposition 50 would undo that progress by giving the power back to lawmakers, letting them draw their own district lines. This opens the door to gerrymandering, where politicians manipulate boundaries to protect themselves, weaken competition, and silence communities.

Supporters call it reform, but in reality, it is a power grab that undermines transparency and fairness. Californians fought hard to establish independent redistricting precisely to prevent this kind of partisan abuse. Passing Proposition 50 would set us backward, erode public confidence, and make elections less accountable. Voters should reject efforts that prioritize political self-interest over democracy. Keep elections fair, keep politicians honest, and protect the voice of the people.

Vote NO on Proposition 50.
