Propagation of the results for Proposition 50 in California suggests that we will likely know the outcome shortly after the vote counts are finalized. Specifically, the results are expected to be available within a few days, as California counts mail-in ballots that can be postmarked on Election Day and received up to seven days afterward.

When will the results be announced?

The official and final result for Prop 50 will depend on the completion of vote tallying, which has already begun. Since the ballots are still being processed, especially mail-in ballots, definitive results might take several days to be confirmed.

Recent updates

  • As of the latest reports, over 63% of voters approved Prop 50, with more than eight million Californians casting ballots.
  • News outlets and official sources typically release results incrementally as counties report their tallies, with initial results often available within hours of polls closing and final results after all ballots are counted.

Summary

Expect a formal announcement of whether Prop 50 passed within the next few days, probably by the end of the week or early next week, depending on the pace of mail-in ballot processing and individual county reporting times.
