Existing provisions of the California Constitution provide for a voter-nominated primary election for each congressional and state elective office in California, in which a voter may vote at the primary election for any candidate for a congressional or state elective office without regard to the political party preference disclosed by the candidate or the voter. Under the California Constitution, the candidates receiving the 2 highest vote totals for each voter-nominated office at a primary election, regardless of party preference, compete for the office at the ensuing general election. This measure would provide that, for a person whose name was written in upon the ballot for the voter-nominated primary election for a congressional or state elective office, and is one of the top two vote-getters, to appear as a candidate for that office in the ensuing general election, the write-in candidate must have received votes at the primary election equal in number to at least 1 percent of all votes cast for the office at the last preceding general election at which the office was filled.
