Califronia Primary Elections- June 3rd

Last Day to Register- May 19

WHY IS THERE AN ELECTION ON JUNE 3, 2008
June 3 is the regularly scheduled election date for the California Primary Election. This election determines the nominees for the partisan offices (Congress, State Senate and Assembly). Candidates for these offices represent California's political parties (Republican, Democratic, American Independent, Green, Libertarian, and Peace & Freedom) and the top candidate from each party will face the other party nominees in the November 4th General Election. The County Central Committees for the Republican and Democratic parties will also appear on this ballot.

There will also be candidates for some nonpartisan offices on the ballot, including Superior Court Judges, Board of Supervisors (Districts 1, 2 & 3), San Diego County Board of Education (Districts 1, 2 & 4) San Diego Community College (Districts B & D), San Diego Unified School (Districts A, D & E) City of San Diego (Mayor, City Attorney and Council Districts 1, 3, 5 & 7), City of Chula Vista (Council Seats 3 & 4). Some of these contests could have an outright winner on June 3, while others will have a run-off election on November 4, 2008.
