Write-In Opportunities

In addition to the offices listed above, there are some cases where only one candidate (often the incumbent) has filed to be on the ballot. In these cases a write-in candidate could, with only a small number of votes (as long as it was more than the number for any other write-in candidate for the same office) end up as one of the "top two" and thereby be listed on the November ballot.

A number of Libertarians have done this in previous years, and some have gotten on the November ballot that way. Districts where that would be possible this year are all state Assembly districts (listed here along with the counties with which they overlap):
