§ 13500 Partisan Primary Election Rules

• •The chapter’s rules are limited to partisan primary elections only.
• •Non‑partisan elections are not covered by this chapter.
• •The provision became effective on January 1, 2018.

A city holds a primary election where Democrats and Republicans each pick their own candidates for the upcoming general election.

Because the election is a partisan primary, the rules in this chapter apply. If the same city held a non‑partisan school board election, the chapter would not apply.
