Assemblyman Kiley Introduces State Constitutional Amendment to End CA's Jungle Primary

Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) announced Tuesday he authored and introduced a Constitutional Amendment to allow voters to vote to end California’s Top 2 Primary election system, also known as the “Jungle Primary.” Assembly Constitutional Amendment 16 would require a two-thirds vote in both the Assembly and the Senate, as well as from a majority of California voters.

“The Top 2 Primary is making a farce of our democracy with gamesmanship, fluke outcomes, and the disenfranchisement of independent voters,” said Assemblyman Kevin Kiley. “After 10 years of broken promises, it’s time to end this failed experiment once and for all.”


California’s electorate adopted its “top-two” primary system in the June 2010 statewide election by passing Proposition 14. It became operative on January 1, 2011, and amended Section 5 of Article II of the California Constitution. Globe contributor Chris Micheli recently explained.
