Moore v. Panish
California Supreme Court
1Opinion of the Court
Opinion
REYNOSO, J.
The sole issue in this mandate proceeding is whether section 6402, subdivision (b) of the Elections Code1 prohibits petitioner *538from seeking election to his party’s county central committee and to the board of directors of a nonpartisan municipal water district at the same primary election.
We conclude that section 6402, by its terms, does not apply to selection of party county central committees. It follows that subdivision (b), which serves only to limit its application, as well does not apply to such a committee office. (See Narver v. Jordan (1916) 173 Cal. 424 [160 P.245].)
