Thank you for visiting the JoinCalifornia archive. Since 2004, JoinCalifornia.com has grown into the largest online archive of California election results. We are continually working to update our candidate biographies with current information as elected officials and candidates leave office or are elected or appointed to new positions. Although we focus primarily on the individual candidates and politicians, rather than on issues or legislation, we have begun working to include the major legislative contributions as part of the candidate profiles.

Our records currently include state legislative races since 1898, and federal and the statewide offices since 1849. This information includes 12,984 candidates running in 23,310 races in 466 elections. Our current research is focused on expanding the biographies of the more notable officials from the 1880-1930 period as well as collecting information about candidates for the 2008 General Election.

This should be a packed year for elections in California. In addition to at least two special elections and a recall, Californians will help select a new President and a new class of state legislators. We are dedicated to helping visitors stay up-to-date with current political events during the long year ahead, and as part of this we are providing this elections calendar.

Please remember; we need your help to stay up-to-date on current events. If you find any information that we are missing on this site, let us know.
