This is the operative sentence from the law:
(g) The final redistricting plan shall be approved by a single resolution adopted unanimously by the Special Masters and shall become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State for use at the next statewide primary and general election, and if adopted by initiative pursuant to subdivision (h), for succeeding elections until the next adjustment of boundaries is required pursuant to this article.

By "Instant Election", I simply mean that it will be USED in the SAME election that Voters will be asked to approve (or disapprove) it. I believe that would be November 2006. And, if they don't approve it:

(i) If the redistricting plan is approved by the voters pursuant to subdivision (h) hereof, it shall be used in succeeding elections until the next adjustment of boundaries is required. If the plan is rejected by the voters pursuant to subdivision (h) hereof, a new panel of Special Masters shall be appointed within 90 days in the manner provided in subdivision (c)(2) for the purpose of proposing a new plan for the next statewide primary and general election pursuant to this article. Any officials elected under a final redistricting plan shall serve out their term of office notwithstanding the voters' disapproval of the plan for use in succeeding primary and general elections.
