What you need to know for voting in the Prop 50 special election

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- Since August, Proposition 50 advertisements have flooded your TV, social media and your mailbox. But in a few days Election Day will finally be here.

In Kern County, 463,000 people are eligible to vote in the Special Election. The Kern Registrar of voters has received 78,000 ballots as of Thursday. That’s a turnout rate of 16.8% at this point of the voting process.

Registrar of Voters, Aimee Espinoza shares when her office will see the most ballots.

"Typically, we see about like half of all vote-by-mail come in Election Day. A lot of people, I think, do like to continue that tradition of going to the poll site, showing up, getting a fresh I voted sticker and dropping in," she said.

Most ballots will only have the Prop 50 measure on the voting sheet. Delano
