AP Decision Notes: What to expect in the California 20th District special election

Voters in California’s 20th Congressional District can be forgiven if they open their ballots for Tuesday's election with a sense of déjà vu. Since Republican former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced in December he would step down from his Central Valley seat, voters have already had two opportunities to vote for candidates to complete his term and serve the next full one.

The Associated Press will provide coverage for one contest in California on Tuesday: the special election in the 20th Congressional District. The candidates on the ballot are Fong and Boudreaux. WHO GETS TO VOTEAny voter registered in California’s 20th Congressional District may participate in this special election.

Approximately 121,000 votes were cast in the March 19 special primary election. Fong finished first, winning 42% of the vote to Boudreaux’s 26%. That closely mirrored the previous primary, in which Fong received 42% of the overall vote to Boudreaux’s 24%. The district includes portions of Fresno, Kern, Kings and Tulare counties in the San Joaquin Valley, one of the basins in the state’s agriculture-heavy Central Valley. About half the votes in both March elections came from Kern County.

As of Feb. 20, there were 449,886 voters registered in the 20th District. Of those, approximately 121,000 were Democrats and 210,000 were Republicans . Ballots were mailed out on April 22, and ballot drop boxes opened the following day. HOW LONG DOES VOTE COUNTING USUALLY TAKE?In the special primary election on March 19, the AP first reported results in the district at 11:10 p.m. ET, or about 10 minutes after polls closed. The election night tabulation ended at 3:03 a.m.
