Gus Mattamal and Emily Beach are the next closest competitors at 18 percent and 14 percent, respectively.

As of April, the California Secretary of State reported that 26,948,297 Californians were registered to vote, which accounts for almost 82 percent percent of the state's eligible voting population.

Not surprisingly, there are far more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state, with 46.75 percent for the former and 23.92% for the latter. GOP registration in the state has been dropping steadily, a trend that shows no sign of slowing down even as Republican registration climbed at the national level over the last year.

Voter turnout is not expected to be as high this primary season, especially without highly competitive statewide races.

The six candidates running for the 15th Congressional District are:

• Emily Beach
• David Canepa
• Jim Garrity
• Gus Mattamal
• Kevin Mullin
• Ferenc Pataki

The seven candidates running for the 21st Assembly District are:

• James Coleman
• Mark Gilham
• Maurice Goodman
• Giselle Hale
• Alison Madden
