In 2010, California voters decided on a new “Top Two” primary system. This new system puts all candidates on every ballot regardless of political party affiliation. Any voter can vote for any candidate from any party. The candidates receiving the two highest number of votes in each race will move on to the November General Election. This can mean that there may even be two candidates from the same party vying for the same office. The “Top Two” system puts more power in the hands of voters, because the nominations are truly decided by the voters and not the parties. In a state like California where there are several prominent political parties, this new system allows for a wider freedom to choose the candidate that best represents your concerns.
City Council elections are not defined by partisan affiliations.
