If California’s statewide primary election feels a little, well, meh in this home stretch of the voting season, you’re not alone. It’s especially noticeable given that there are more opportunities to participate than in any other primary election in the state’s history. The November 2020 election saw the highest percentage turnout of California registered voters since 1976 and of eligible voters since 1952. All of that translates into voter turnout numbers that will rise in the days and weeks to come. The record for low turnout in a California statewide primary is 25.17% of registered voters, set in 2014.
