Shasta County to Host New California Statehood "In Principle" Vote on November 4th

Shasta County residents will have the opportunity to participate in an "in principle" approval vote for the proposed New California statehood on Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, at the Red Lion Hotel, located at 1830 Hilltop Drive, Redding, CA. The vote, organized by the New California movement, seeks to gauge public support for petitioning the U.S. Congress to recognize New California as a separate state, distinct from the current state of California.

Event Details:

• Date and Time: November 4th, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

• Location: Red Lion Hotel, 1830 Hilltop Drive, Redding, CA (accessible off I-5)

• Voting Process: In-person voting with paper ballots, hand-counted on the same day, with results announced that evening

• Ballot: Voters will mark "Yes" or "No" on Proposition 50, indicating support or opposition to the New California statehood proposal

The New California movement, active across more than 50 California counties, advocates for the creation of a new state that would prioritize rural interests, lower taxes, and local governance, as outlined in a proposed constitution developed through 13 conventions. This vote is symbolic and intended to demonstrate public sentiment for statehood to Congress, though it is not legally binding.
