Summary

Existing provisions of the California Constitution provide for a voter-nominated primary election for each congressional and state elective office in California, in which a voter may vote at the primary election for any candidate for a congressional or state elective office without regard to the political party preference disclosed by the candidate or the voter. Under the California Constitution, the candidates receiving the 2 highest vote totals for each voter-nominated office at a primary election, regardless of party preference, compete for the office at the ensuing general election. This measure would provide that, if a candidate for a voter-nominated office that is a state elective office receives at least 60% of votes cast for that office in a voter-nominated primary election that is not a special primary election called to fill a vacancy, the candidate would be declared elected, and no general election would be held for that office.
