§ 11650 Election Consolidation Authority

• •Local elections can share the same date as other elections.
• •Elections can be combined with other elections.
• •Applies to state, county, and city elections.

A city decides to hold its mayoral election on the same day as the statewide primary election, so voters can cast their ballot for both at once.

Because the city election can be consolidated with the primary, the city can use the same voting locations and date, making voting more convenient and reducing costs.
