A couple of Senate special elections will give the new open primary system its first test.
From the Tribune:
California’s new top-two open primary system is getting its first test in special elections in two Southern California state Senate districts Tuesday, ushering in changes that proponents hope will eventually lead to a less partisan Legislature.
Voters are choosing successors for Democratic Sen. Jenny Oropeza, who died in office last year of complications from a blood clot, and former Sen. George Runner, a Republican who was elected to the state Board of Equalization in November.
