November 4, 2025, Special Election

Under the California Voter’s Choice Act, every active registered voter in San Diego County will receive a ballot in the mail the week of October 6, 2025, for the special election.

Voters throughout the state will decide whether to adopt Proposition 50, an amendment to the State Constitution related to redistricting. Learn more about the Statewide Special Election :: California Secretary of State.

Additionally, voters residing in the City of Poway Council District 2 will have an additional question on their ballot. Poway district 2 voters will decide whether to recall (remove) their elected representative on the city council from office. Only voters living in council district 2 are eligible to vote on this contest. Find your district.

If a majority of voters vote “no,” the recall has failed, and the elected official will remain in office.
If a majority of voters vote “yes,” the elected official is removed from office, and the position will remain vacant until it is filled according to the law.

Check your voter registration to confirm your home address (and mailing address, if different). If you need to make changes, you can update your registration online.
