Top Two Voter-Nominated Offices

Under the Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, all candidates running for Voter-Nominated Offices regardless of their party preference, will appear on the single combined ballot and voters can vote for any candidate from any political party.

The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act requires that only the two candidates for Voter-Nominated Offices who receive the highest and second-highest number of votes cast at the primary election shall appear on the ballot as candidates at the ensuing general election.

Nonpartisan Offices

Nonpartisan Offices include the state Superintendent of Public Instruction as well as Judicial Offices, County Offices, Municipal Offices, School District Offices and Special District Offices. A candidate's political party preference is not listed on the ballot and voters can vote for any candidate. 

In majority vote contests (at least 50% +1), candidates that receive a majority of the votes in the primary win outright. Otherwise, the top two candidates who receive the most votes in the primary move on to the general election.
