Turnout was expected to be strong for Tuesday’s election in California, as voters made their choice in the presidential primary, voted on the largest proposed bond issue in state history and picked candidates in state and local races.
Statewide, there are 20.6 million registered voters, an increase of 3.3 million since the last presidential election in 2016. In fact, nearly 82 percent of eligible Californians are registered to vote, the highest heading into a California Presidential Primary in the past 68 years.
“California entered 2020 with a record 20.4 million registered voters—and I only expect that figure to climb as we reach the Presidential Primary in March and General Election in November,” Secretary of State Alex Padilla said.
The statewide races dominating the headlines in California have been those for the presidential primary and Proposition 13, the largest proposed bond issue in state history.
In Santa Clara County, voters also weighed in on an open Board of Supervisors seat and races for the statehouse and U.S. Congress. Two candidates are also running unopposed for the county's Superior Court.
And in San Mateo County, voters considered multiple school district bond measures and races for the statehouse and U.S. Congress.
