California’s June 2026 Election
with Ranked-Choice Voting

In June 2026, Californians voted for one of 61 candidates for governor. The top two are advancing to the November election after each getting about a quarter of the vote, with about half of voters left behind. 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.

A November 2026 version presents the legislative and board contests with only the primary election winners.

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). More compact districts are possible, and it would be better to have 8 5-member Senate districts, electing 4 districts every two years. For the US House, imagine that every other state is using the same method. 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.
