According to the California Secretary of State’s Office, “A candidate shall be a U.S. citizen and shall be a registered voter and otherwise qualified to vote for that office at the time that nomination papers are issued to the person.” In other words, if you can legally cast a vote for governor of California you can run for governor of California, provided you have not served two terms as California’s governor since Nov. 6, 1990. So former Gov. Pete Wilson can’t run.
