NOTE TO CANDIDATES
The 2004 California Election Calendar is intended to provide general information about
the nomination and election of candidates and qualification of ballot measures. It does
not have the force and effect of law, regulation or rule. It is distributed with the
understanding that the Secretary of State is not rendering legal advice and, therefore,
the calendar is not to be a substitute for legal counsel for the individual, organization
or candidate using it. In case of conflict, the law, regulation or rule will apply.
Unless otherwise indicated, all code section references are to the California Elections
Code.
