NOTE re: elections to the LEGISLATURE

CALIFORNIA elects half of its 40-member State Senate every two years, State Senators so elected serving four-year terms.

In 2008, State Senators representing the odd-numbered Senatorial Districts: these being 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37 and 39 are up for election to 4-year terms; State Senators from the remaining 20 Senatorial Districts were elected to four-year terms in 2006 and will be up for election again in 2010.

The entire 80-member Assembly is elected every two years and, thus, all 80 Assemblymen are up for election in 2008.
