Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 23 proposes to amend the California Constitution to make the Secretary of State's office nonpartisan. This measure would align the Secretary of State's office with other nonpartisan offices, such as judicial, school, county, and city offices, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction. It would also prohibit political parties from nominating candidates for nonpartisan offices and from including candidates' party preferences on the ballot. The amendment requires a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Legislature and approval by the voters.
