01 | THE SENATE SEAT & ELECTION SYSTEM

California will elect its Class III U.S. senator on November 7, 2028. Democrat Alex Padilla, first seated in 2021 and elected to a full term in 2022, is the incumbent. California uses a unified voter-nominated top-two primary: the two leading candidates advance to the general election regardless of party preference. This is not a set of separate Democratic and Republican Senate nomination contests. Final filing windows and the primary date remain to be confirmed through the Secretary of State's 2028 calendar. (Source 1) (Source 2) (Source 3)

Federal Senate qualifications are age 30 when seated, U.S. citizenship for at least nine years, and inhabitancy in California when elected. An organization's headquarters, tribal jurisdiction or former hometown should not be substituted for an individual's election-day residence.
