United States Senate election in California, 2016

United States Senate election in California, 2016
California
November 8, 2016

Incumbent U.S. Senator

Barbara Boxer
Democratic

[1]The 2016 United States Senate election in California will take place on November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of California, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Under California's nonpartisan blanket primary law, all candidates appear on the same ballot, regardless of party. In the primary, which will be held on June 7, 2016, voters may vote for any candidate, regardless of their party affiliation. The top two finishers — regardless of party — advance to the general election in November, even if a candidate manages to receive a majority of the votes cast in the primary election. Washington is the only other state with this system, a so-called "top two primary" (Louisiana has a similar "jungle primary").

Incumbent Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer is not running for re-election to a fifth term in office.[2] This will be the first open seat Senate election in California in 24 years.[3]

Background

Barbara Boxer was re-elected with 52.1% of the vote in 2010 against Republican Carly Fiorina. Towards the end of 2014, Boxer's low fundraising and cash-on-hand numbers led to speculation that she would retire.[4][5] On January 8, 2015, Boxer announced that she would not run for re-election.[2]
