Hi! While I appreciate the article, I do think that it needs to be draftified for now since the Legislature has not approved the measure to be on the ballot. As is, it violates WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTALBALL since it definitively states that a ballot measure will be taking place, when in fact, we don't yet know. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2025 Tennessee's 7th congressional district special election was draftified for a similar reason. If not, I'll likely add the AfD template and start a discussion soon.

- @AG202 while usually true, the article can be re-worded. It is notable as an act of legislation, separate from the vote. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 22:36, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Yoblyblob: The effort itself is notable, but there is no act yet. We don't know what the actual contents of it will be and we should not be declaring anything concrete about what it would do. Ex: Is it a legislatively referred constitutional amendment? Are the maps a part of the amendment or are they separate? Will "Election Rigging Response Act" even be the official title? There are too much many unknowns for there to be an article with this title. AG202 (talk) 22:48, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- @AG202 I think Newsom's press release covers some of this.
- "Governor Newsom unveiled the framework for the proposed constitutional amendment — which will be known as The Election Rigging Response Act"
- Just under that, it clarifies that this will all be in one amendment.
- "Retains California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission and declares state policy supporting the use of fair, nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide.
- Temporarily adopts new California congressional districts for use in congressional elections through 2030." Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 22:53, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Yoblyblob: I saw the press release, yes, but that still does not alleviate the fact that the Act has not been filed. We should not make articles about acts that simply do not exist. It violates WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTALBALL. We should wait until the act is filed in the legislature at the very least. We don't even know if it'll be amended or even pass in the first place.
