Summary
The California Constitution designates as nonpartisan all judicial, school, county, and city offices, including the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The California Constitution prohibits including the political party preference of a candidate for nonpartisan office on the ballot for the office. This measure would instead permit the political party preference, or lack of a political party preference, of a candidate for nonpartisan office, except for judicial offices, to be indicated on the ballot in the manner provided by statute.
