It is distributed with the understanding that the Secretary of State is not rendering legal advice and, therefore, the calendar is not to be a substitute for legal counsel for the individual, organization or candidate using it. In case of conflict, the law, regulation or rule will apply. Unless otherwise indicated, all code section references are to the California Elections Code.
