The supervisor race is the only contested local race that will appear on the Republican primary ballot. All other races will autoadvance to the general election November. While the Fullerton City Council and Twin River Board of Education races will be contested in November, as non-partisan races it would have taken seven candidates running to appear on the primary ballot (one more than double the number of open seats).
There will also be federal and state races on the primary ballot.
