Legislative Primaries -- Some Trivia Questions
Q. What percentage of legislative primary contests
are uncontested?
A. 73%! As usual, a huge number of these contests are no
contest at all. Only a single person is running in 73% of
the primary contests for US House of Representatives, California
State Senate and State Assembly. The winner is known. In
7 of those contests, official write-in candidates running
unopposed will be declared the winner in their party's primary.

in the same district for two different parties?
A. Yes! One Assembly candidate is running unopposed in his
Republican
