                    CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
                    2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION
                Assembly Constitutional Amendment
                    No. 24  Introduced by Assembly Members Nguyen, Alvarez, Ávila Farías, Blanca Rubio, and Wilson (Coauthors: Assembly Members Ahrens, Bains, Calderon, Gipson, Jackson, Lee, McKinnor, Pacheco, and Solache)       August 24, 2026  A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 2 of Article II thereof, relating to elections.       LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST     ACA 24, as introduced, Nguyen.
                          Elections: prohibition of exclusion of eligible voters.     The California Constitution confers the right to vote on a United States citizen who is 18 years of age and a resident of this state, except as specified. The California Constitution requires candidates for congressional and state elective offices in California to be selected via a voter-nominated primary election at which all voters may vote for any candidate without regard to the political party preference disclosed by the candidate or the voter. The top two vote-getters at a voter-nominated primary election for a congressional or state elective office, regardless of party preference, are nominated to compete in the ensuing general election. The California Constitution requires the Legislature to provide for partisan elections for presidential candidates, and political party and party central committees, including an open presidential primary whereby the candidates on the ballot are
		those found by the Secretary of State to be recognized candidates throughout the nation or throughout California for the office of President of the United States.  This measure would prohibit an eligible voter from being excluded from meaningful participation at any integral stage of any publicly funded election, including a primary election, on any basis, including political party preference.
