Quick and dirty: Here's what will be on your primary ballot next week
Nearly 1.8 million voters registered or updated their information ahead of the May 23rd deadline. Many of them will come to the polls next week.
LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 05: Voters go to the polls for Super Tuesday primaries in the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Boyle Heights on February 5, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Latinos are an increasingly important factor in California where they are expected to account for 14 percent of the vote and tend to favor presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) over rival Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). At 44 million, Latinos make up15 percent of the US population, the nation's largest minority group according to the latest Census Bureau estimates. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

Nearly 1.8 million voters registered or updated their information ahead of the May 23rd deadline. Many of them will come to the polls next week.

Just one week and a day remain until the California Primary, and California Secretary of State Alex Padilla says registration is up in the Golden State. 

Nearly 1.8 million voters registered or updated their information ahead of the May 23rd deadline. Many of them will come to the polls next week. 

That's why Take Two thought now might be a good time to review what Californians are voting on next week, in addition to the presidential primary.

Scott Shafer is the senior editor for KQED's California Politics and Government Desk. He walked A Martinez through the ballot.

(Correction: During the interview, A Martinez stated that 20,000 Californians are still registered members of the American Independent Party. The LA Times reports that 20,000 Californians who were accidentally registered under the American Independependent Party changed their registration after a recent LAT story revealed that many AIP members registered by mistake. We regret the error.)
