60 Political Parties in Elections
Constitutional Amendment

California has a two-step election for many elected offices. The Primary Election in the spring lets political parties choose which candidates they want to run for each office in the November General Election. In the Primary Election, voters can only choose candidates from their own party. In the General Election, voters can choose a candidate from any party.

There is another proposition in this election, Prop 62, that would change primary elections.
 

Make sure that the November ballot will include the winning candidate from every party that was in the Primary Election. This is the current law, and Prop 60 makes it part of the State Constitution.
 

No effect on the cost of primary or general elections.
 

Arguments for Prop 60:		Arguments against Prop 60:
Prop 60 makes sure that every political party will have candidates in the November election. If Prop 60 gets more votes, it can stop Prop 62, which is trying to change that.    website		There are many problems with our current primary election system. Prop 60 would make it even harder to make changes in the future.
