SCA 11 California Senate · 2017-2018 Regular Session

A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 6 of Article II thereof, relating to elections.

Summary
The California Constitution requires that all judicial, school, county, and city offices be nonpartisan. The California Constitution prohibits a political party or party central committee from nominating a candidate for nonpartisan office, and prohibits including the party preference of a candidate for nonpartisan office on the ballot for the nonpartisan office. This measure would allow school, county, and city offices, except the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, to be partisan offices.
