More than 1 million ballots turned in for California special election on Prop 50, data firm says [View all]

ACRAMENTO, Calif. — More than 1 million ballots have been returned so far in California’s special election to decide Proposition 50, according to a data firm used by political campaigns.

Political Data Inc. said on X Wednesday that 4.49% of ballots sent out to California voters have already been returned.

The firm cited a rate that was “close to recall election numbers,” in a reference to the 2021 vote over whether to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom.

According to the early mail-in vote, 5% of Democrats and 5% of Republicans have turned in their ballots. That equates to more than 530,000 votes from Democrats and more than 293,000 from Republicans.
