The 2024 California elections will take place on November 5, 2024. The statewide direct primary election was held on March 5, 2024.[1]
California voters will elect all of California's seats to the United States House of Representatives, one seat to the United States Senate, all of the seats of the California State Assembly, and all even-numbered seats of the California State Senate. Additionally, they will vote indirectly in the nationwide 2024 presidential election.
Pursuant to Proposition 14 passed in 2010, California uses a nonpartisan blanket primary for almost all races, with the presidential primary races being the notable exception. Under the nonpartisan blanket primary system, all the candidates for the same elected office, regardless of respective political party, run against each other at once during the primary. The candidates receiving the most and second-most votes in the primary election then become the contestants in the general election.[2]
President of the United States
California has 54 votes in the Electoral College following the results of the 2020 census in which the state lost one vote due to redistricting. California is considered a strong blue state, voting for each Democratic Party candidate since 1992; in 2020, Joe Biden carried the state with 63.5% of the vote, the highest vote share of any candidate since 1936.[3]
Presidential primaries will be held in California on Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024. All six of the state's registered political parties will hold primary elections. California is a semi-closed primary state, in which independent voters may choose which party primary to vote in.[4]
United States Congress
Senate
Following the death of Dianne Feinstein on September 29, 2023, incumbent Democratic senator Laphonza Butler was appointed to the seat by Governor Gavin Newsom.[5] She has chosen not to run for a full term.[6]
There were two elections on the ballot for the same Class 1 seat: a special election for the remainder of Feinstein's term expiring on January 3, 2025, and a general election for the full term ending on January 3, 2031.[7]
House of Representatives
All of California's 52 seats to the United States House of Representatives will be up for election to two-year terms. Six members of Congress have chosen not to run for re-election, three of whom (Barbara Lee, Katie Porter, and Adam Schiff) are choosing instead to run for the U.S. Senate.
State legislature
State Senate
All odd-numbered seats of the California State Senate are up for election to four-year terms.
State Assembly
All 80 seats of the California State Assembly are up for election to two-year terms.
State propositions
Primary election
Since the passage of a November 2011 law, only state propositions placed on the ballot by the state legislature may appear on the primary ballot, and all qualifying measures placed via petition are automatically moved to the general election ballot.[8] Only one of these have been put on the 2024 primary ballot:
Proposition 1
Proposition 1, the Behavioral Health Services Program and Bond Measure, will provide additional behavioral health services and issue up to about $6.4 billion in bonds to fund housing for homeless individuals and veterans. The measure would also, among others, shift roughly $140 million annually of existing tax revenue for existing mental health, drug, and alcohol treatment care from the counties to the state so the counties could focus more on housing and personalized support services. Supporters of Proposition 1 favor this proposed expansion of behavioral health and addiction services, along with the additional housing for the homeless. Opponents of the measure object to the shift in spending that could cut existing county mental health programs, along with the resulting additional bond debt.[9][10]
