From SignOnSanDiego.com:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has set a special election to fill the vacancy created in the state Senate when George Runner won election to the Board of Equalization.
Under California’s new open primary law, the top two vote-getters in a Feb. 15 primary will advance to an April 19 runoff election, regardless of party affiliation.
There will be no runoff if a candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote in February.
Runner, a Republican from Lancaster, resigned his 17th Senate District seat Tuesday. The district covers parts of Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties.
