2013 Special Elections

Banner_PriceFor my California political enthusiast friends (particularly OC Political blogger Chris Nguyen), I have some good news… in this year of election milk and honey, you’ve made it through the longest gaps between elections.

We had three gaps of 62 days between elections, but fear not. In just 24 days, we will be seeing two legislative special primary elections and then (for the rest of the year) the longest you’ll have to wait for an election is 55 days.

Hey, we could always end up with an extra Special Election thrown in there just for fun.
