Nominate or Elect?There are three types of offices on the 2024 Presidential Primary Election ballot. Some candidates can be elected at the Primary; others can be nominated to be on the November ballot: 1. Party-Nominated Offices: Only voters in the same political party can vote to nominate a party candidate for U.S. President for the November ballot and to elect candidates for County Central Committees. 2. Voter-Nominated Offices: All voters regardless of their political party preference can vote to nominate a candidate for U.S. Senator, Congressional Representative, State Senator, and State Assembly Member. Under California’s Top-Two Primary system, the two candidates for each office who receive the most votes will advance to the 2024 Presidential General Election in November. It is possible the top two could be from the same party. 3. Nonpartisan Offices: All voters can vote for candidates for three Superior Court Judge offices. And depending on where you live, you may be eligible to vote for one of two County Board of Supervisors offices and one of three County Board of Education offices. Voters in Orange Unified School District will also be asked whether two members of their Board of Education should be recalled. The County Board of Education contests and the Orange Unified recall will be decided in the Primary. Candidates for Superior Court Judge and County Board of Supervisors can be elected in the Primary if they receive 50% plus one vote. If no candidate in one of these contests receives a majority of the votes cast, the two candidates receiving the most votes will compete in a run-off in November. You can find more information about each of these types of contests in the Orange County Voter Information Guide mailed to you last month or by visiting our website at ocvote.gov/VIG.
