What does the term "nonpartisan election" mean, and which elected positions in California are nonpartisan?
What will be an ideal response?
Nonpartisan elections are those in which a person's party affiliation will not be listed on the ballot next to a person's name (the voter lacks the political party cue when voting). All local elections are nonpartisan; this includes city councils and mayors, county boards of supervisors, school boards, special district boards, and superior court judges. [Note: Regional governments are not elected.]
