Incumbent Democratic Attorney General Kamala Harris won re-election to a second term in office.

Under California's nonpartisan blanket primary law, all candidates appear on the same ballot, regardless of party.

In the primary, voters may vote for any candidate, regardless of their party affiliation.

The top two finishers — regardless of party — advance to the general election in November, even if a candidate manages to receive a majority of the votes cast in the primary election.

As of 2025, this election, alongside other concurrent statewide races, marks the last time where Mono and San Diego Counties voted for the Republican in a statewide race.
