Why is California holding its Presidential Primary Election in February and how does this election differ from the Direct Primary Election in June?
Senate Bill 113 (Calderon), Chapter 2, Statutes of 2007, created a February 5, 2008, Presidential Primary Election. The election is limited to presidential primary candidates and, as required by California Constitution Article II, Sections 8 and 9, any initiative measure or referendum that qualifies in time for a statewide election ballot. The primary election in June will include races for United States Congress, the California Legislature, and statewide ballot measures, and potentially local races depending on the community where you live.
