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.

The California Constitution requires that a voter-nomination primary election be conducted to select candidates for congressional and state elective offices, and it prescribes that the top two vote-getters at the voter-nominated primary election compete in the ensuing general election, regardless of political party preference. The California Constitution allows a candidate for a congressional or state elective office to have the candidate's political party preference, or lack of political party preference, indicated upon the ballot for the office in the manner provided by statute. The California Constitution further provides that all judicial, school, county, and city offices are nonpartisan, and it prohibits the inclusion of a candidate's party preference on the ballot for these offices. This measure would convert the offices of State Senator and Member of the Assembly into nonpartisan offices.
