Early in-person voting in California's special election begins Saturday

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Starting Saturday, San Diego County registered voters can head to polls to vote in-person in California's special election.

Among the matters on the ballot that are up for voters' consideration is Proposition 50, which would allow redistricting in California as a counteraction to recent changes in Texas.

Ever since California Gov. Gavin Newsom introduced the ballot measure, the move has sparked a debate over redrawing congressional district lines in California and gerrymandering.

Voters throughout the state will get to vote “yes” or “no” to Prop. 50 in the upcoming special election.

Registered voters in Poway's District 2 will also get to vote on whether to recall Poway City Councilmember Tony Blain who has been accused of misconduct. On Friday, just less than two weeks before the election, Blain has been charged with perjury, asking for a bribe, soliciting a bribe and destruction or removal of public papers along with misdemeanor petty theft.

The San Diego County Registrar of Voters opened its doors for early voting the week of Oct. 6, giving registered voters the chance to complete their ballots in the comfort of their home and return it to an official ballot drop box.

Starting Saturday, select vote centers around the county will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for those who would rather vote in person.

Starting next Saturday, Nov. 1, all vote centers will open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On the final day of voting, which falls on Tuesday, Nov. 4., all vote centers, official ballot drop boxes and the Registrar's office will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
