The 2026 California elections will take place on November 3, 2026. The statewide direct primary election will be held on June 2.

California voters will elect all of California's seats to the United States House of Representatives, all of the seats of the California State Assembly, all even-numbered seats of the California State Senate, and the Governor of California and various statewide offices.

Pursuant to Proposition 14 passed in 2010, California uses a nonpartisan blanket primary for its races. All the candidates for the same elected office, regardless of respective political party, run against each other at once during the primary. The candidates receiving the most and second-most votes in the primary election then become the contestants in the general election.

All of California's 52 seats to the United States House of Representatives will be up for election to two-year terms. They will use the redrawn district maps under the voter-approved 2025 California Proposition 50.

Incumbent Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is term-limited and ineligible to seek reelection.

Incumbent Democratic Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis is term-limited and ineligible to seek re-election; she is instead running for state treasurer.

Incumbent Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta is running for re-election.
