In June 2026, Californians will each vote for one of 61 candidates for governor.
The top two will advance to the November election. Early polls suggest that those two
may share about 34% of the vote — a potential loss for about two thirds of voters.
If voters could rank several candidates whom they support, their votes could count for
their highest-ranked viable candidate, and the weakest candidates could be sequentially
eliminated. This way, the chosen candidates would have the explicit support of many more voters.
This website presents a ranked-choice version of California’s
June 2026 election at the state and federal level. When combined with multi-member districts,
nearly everyone can help elect a candidate whom they support.

District-based contests —
These multi-member districts were made by combining the single-member district maps from the
Citizens Redistricting Commission and
Prop 50 map (AB 604).
If you can’t tell which district is yours, look up your current
state districts and
US House district, or guess.
You are welcome to vote in more than one district.
