Voters Head to Polls in Six States for Primaries
Voters in California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota cast ballots Tuesday in state and local primary contests. California features the largest number of races, including contests for governor and Los Angeles mayor.
Al JazeeraVoters in six states went to the polls Tuesday for primary elections. California drew the most attention with contests for governor and Los Angeles mayor under the state's jungle primary system.
Voters in Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota also selected nominees for various state and local offices. Ballots in those states covered legislative seats and other positions without the same volume of statewide races as California.
California's jungle primary allows all candidates to appear on a single ballot, with the top two vote-getters advancing regardless of party. Officials in each state set standard polling hours and procedures for the June primary date. No specific candidates or vote totals were named in the source material.
