ModeratorWhen is the deadline for initiatives, referenda, and legislative measures to qualify for the ballot and which election ballot will they appear on?
As a result of Senate Bill 202 (Chapter 558, Statutes of 2011), from July 2011 forward, initiative and referendum measures will only appear on general election ballots.
Initiatives have to qualify 131 days before a general election. Referenda can qualify for the ballot up to 31 days before a general election.
Senate Bill 202 does not affect the placement of legislative measures on the ballot. Legislative measures can still appear on the ballot during any statewide election. Legislative measures must also be placed on the ballot 131 days before an election, unless the legislature passes legislation allowing a specific bill to be placed on the ballot after the 131 day deadline.

ModeratorHow are primary elections conducted in California?
All candidates for voter-nominated offices are listed on one ballot and only the top two vote-getters in the primary election β regardless of party preference – move on to the general election. A write-in candidate will only move on to the general election if the candidate is one of the top two vote-getters in the primary election.
Prior to the Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, the top vote-getter from each qualified political party, as well as any write-in candidate who received a certain percentage of votes, moved on to the general election.
The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act does not apply to candidates running for U.S. President, county central committee, or local office.

ModeratorWhat is a voter-nominated office?
The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, which took effect January 1, 2011, created “voter-nominated” offices. The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act does not apply to candidates running for U.S. President, county central committees, or local offices.
Most of the offices that were previously known as “partisan” are now known as “voter-nominated” offices. Voter-nominated offices are state constitutional offices, state legislative offices, U.S. senate, and U.S. congressional offices. The only “partisan offices” now are the offices of U.S. President and county central committee.
