June 2012 California elections
The California state elections, June 2012 were held on June 5, 2012 and included two
propositions ,
primary elections for each
party's nominee for
President , and primary elections to determine the
top-two candidates for California's
Class I seat to the
United States Senate , all of California's seats to the
House of Representatives , all of the seats of the
State Assembly , and all odd-numbered seats of the
State Senate , who will compete against each other in a

This was the first election with California's newly implemented
nonpartisan blanket primary in effect, pursuant to
Proposition 14 , which passed with 53% voter approval in June 2010. Additionally, in November 2010, voters approved
Proposition 20 , which authorized a California
Citizens Redistricting Commission to re-draw
congressional district lines , in addition to its current job of drawing
state senate district lines and
state assembly district lines , taking away that job from the
California state legislature . This was the first election which used the Citizens Redistricting Commission's maps.
