On February 26, 2016, the California Attorney General finished the paperwork for a proposed initiative that would remove all party labels from California ballots, except for President. It requires 585,407 valid signatures in order to get on the November 2016 ballot. This initiative has a Secretary of State(SOS) tracking number: 1780.
Under state law, the 135-day deadline before an election is when the county registrars turn over their qualifying signature counts to the SOS. If a full check is needed, and the counties use their maximum time allotted, then the deadline for filing with counties is March 8.
The initiative to remove party labels from California ballots for Congress and Partisan State office will not qualify for the ballot in 2016.
