Bill overview
This bill makes changes to California election procedures for the June 2, 2026, primary election. It adjusts deadlines for submitting candidate petitions, including those related to collecting signatures. It also requires the Secretary of State to determine the feasibility of including party voter preferences in the statewide voter list and to prepare a supplemental list with that information. Furthermore, the bill prohibits Representatives in Congress from using the term "incumbent" on the ballot and modifies deadlines for filing candidate nomination documents. Finally, it calls for a special election on November 4, 2025, to address constitutional amendments.
