SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA (Times Media Service) – Every 10 years after the US Census the registrar of voter’s offices in each county have new districts to compile candidates for the voters to choose. Many candidates find that the districts that they were representing may change to a very different constituency. In the state of California, the candidate cutoff for most races is March 11 at 5:00 PM for the June7, Consolidated Primary Election.
For the Inland Empire, the following local partisan candidates will have their chance be selected or be placed on the November ballot. US Senate, US House of Representees, State Senate, Assembly and statewide offices will advance the top two candidates, but San Bernardino County election candidates have the chance to win their seats by a 50 percent plus one vote, otherwise will also be placed on the November ballot.
The following candidates may have other communities that are not in the Inland Empire.
