The 2016 United States presidential election in California will take place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participate. California voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote.

On June 7, 2016, in the presidential primaries, California voters will express their preferences for the Democratic, Republican, Green, and Libertarian parties' respective nominees for President.

Primary Elections

While California has had a top-two candidates open primary system since 2011, presidential primaries are still partisan races. Registered members of each party may only vote in their party's presidential primary. Unaffiliated voters may choose any one primary in which to vote, if the party allows such voters to participate. For 2016, the American Independent, Democratic and Libertarian parties have chosen to allow voters registered with no party preference to request their respective party's presidential ballots.

Democratic primary

Seven candidates will appear on the Democratic presidential primary ballot:

• Bernie Sanders
• Hillary Clinton
• Rocky De La Fuente
• Henry Hewes
• Keith Judd
• Michael Steinberg
• Willie L. Wilson
