California’s June 2026 Election
with Ranked-Choice Voting

A demonstration — demochoice.org

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. It features multi-winner ranked-choice voting for boards and legislatures, where each winner’s share of votes is made equal. Then, nearly everyone can help elect a candidate whom they support.

Ranked-choice voting in multi-member districts allows almost all voters to help elect a candidate whom they support, and makes outcomes less influenced by district line drawing. 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.

About these results

Please feel free to cast votes in each contest, but refrain from stuffing the ballot boxes with large numbers of identical votes. This site is intended to educate users about ranked-choice voting, and we would like the results to be as realistic as possible for that purpose.

Each poll was initially seeded with 1,000 random ballots with a 98% chance of using each lower ranking. We may reset the contests if we see significant ballot-box stuffing or if the counting software has trouble keeping up with incoming votes.
