Secretary of State Alex Padilla announced today that California’s independent voters will be able to vote in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, but not in the Republican contest.
The two parties have used a similar setup in recent presidential primaries. There are more than 5.6 million registered independent voters in California.
Our presidential primary will be held on March 3, 2020, known as “Super Tuesday,” because of the large number of state contests that day.
California offers nearly 500 delegates in the Democratic nominating contest.
