Elections: campaign mass mailing prohibitions. Elections: county officers: consolidation with statewide elections.(1) Existing law provides that a candidate for a nonpartisan office who at a primary election receives votes on a majority of all the ballots cast for candidates for that office is elected to that office.This bill would exempt from that provision candidates for county nonpartisan offices, including a county office in a charter county, but not including a charter city and county, and would require the candidates who received the highest and second highest number of votes cast for nomination to that office to be placed on the ballot at the ensuing general election, except as specified. By imposing new duties on counties, including county elections officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.(2) Existing law generally requires that a plurality of the votes given at any election constitutes a choice, but allows charters of cities, counties, or cities and counties to provide the manner in which their respective elective officers may be elected and to prescribe a higher proportion of the vote therefor. Existing law authorizes, and in some circumstances requires, a political subdivision to consolidate its elections with statewide elections.This bill would require an election for an office that is determined by the plurality of the votes cast for that office, with no possibility of a runoff, and is consolidated with a statewide election to be consolidated with the statewide general election in November. These requirements would apply to a charter county, but would not apply to a charter city or charter city and county. By imposing new duties on local government, including county elections officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.(3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
