The 2022 California elections took place on November 8, 2022. ^[1] The statewide direct primary election was held on June 7, 2022. ^[2]

California voters elected all of California's seats to the United States House of Representatives, one seat to the United States Senate, 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.

United States Congress

Senate

Main article: 2022 United States Senate elections in California

Incumbent Democratic senator Alex Padilla was appointed to the seat in 2021 after his predecessor Kamala Harris resigned to become Vice President of the United States. He intended to run for election to a full term. ^[3] Harris was first elected in 2016 with 61.6% of the vote.

There were two elections on the ballot for the same Class 3 seat: a special election for the remainder of Harris's term expiring on January 3, 2023, and a general election for the full term ending on January 3, 2029. Padilla handily won both elections against Mark Meuser.

House of Representatives

Main article: 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in California

All of California's seats to the United States House of Representatives were up for election to two-year terms. Due to the results of the 2020 United States Census, California had 52 seats up for election, a loss of one seat. This was the first time the state lost a congressional delegation in its history. ^[7] Six members of Congress chose not to run for re-election, including Democrat Karen Bass, who instead ran for mayor of Los Angeles.

Although Democrats would hold the majority of the state's delegation, Republicans would win both open districts created through redistricting, as well as retain vulnerable districts that voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

Propositions

In 2022, state propositions only appeared on the general election ballot. Pursuant to a November 2011 law, only propositions placed on the ballot by the state legislature may appear on the primary ballot, ^[12] and the legislative body did not do so in 2022. ^[13]

The following propositions qualified to appear on the general election ballot: ^[13]

• Proposition 1
  • Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment. This is a constitutional amendment (Senate Constitutional Amendment 10) that was passed by the California Legislature in response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that held that the Constitution of the United States does not confer a right to abortion. The constitutional amendment established a right to reproductive freedom in the Constitution of California. It reads that the "state shall not deny or interfere with an individual's reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives". ^[14]

• Proposition 26
  • Legalize Sports Betting on American Indian Lands Initiative. This combined constitutional amendment and state statute initiative placed on the ballot via petition would legalize sports betting at Native American casinos and licensed racetracks in California. It would also legalize roulette and dice games at Native American casinos, pending each tribal casino amending their tribal-state compacts. A 10 percent tax would also be levied on sports betting at racetracks, whose revenue would then be used for enforcement and problem-gambling programs. ^{[15] [16]}

  • Legalize Sports Betting and Revenue for Homelessness Prevention Fund Initiative. This combined constitutional amendment and state statute initiative placed on the ballot via petition would legalize online and mobile sports betting platforms that are associated with an existing gaming tribe. Qualified online sports betting platforms would include those operated by a gaming tribe directly or a platform with an operating agreement with a gaming tribe. A 10 percent tax would also be levied on sports betting revenues and licensing fees, whose revenue would then be used to both regulate the online sports betting industry and help homelessness prevention programs. ^[17]
