A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Sections 5 and 6 of Article II thereof, relating to elections.
Summary
The California Constitution designates as nonpartisan all judicial, school, county, and city offices, including the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The California Constitution prohibits including the political party preference of a candidate for nonpartisan office on the ballot for the office. This measure would instead permit the political party preference, or lack of a political party preference, of a candidate for nonpartisan office, except for judicial offices, to be indicated on the ballot in the manner provided by statute.
