The **2016 California State Assembly election** was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, with the primary election held on June 7, 2016. Voters in the [80 districts](/source/California_State_Assembly_districts) of the [California State Assembly](/source/California_State_Assembly) elected their representatives. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including for [U.S. President](/source/2016_United_States_presidential_election) and the [state senate](/source/California_State_Senate_election%2C_2016).

Benefiting from the large Democratic turnout due to the general election, the [California Democratic Party](/source/California_Democratic_Party) made gains by ousting three Republican incumbents in the [60th](/source/California's_60th_State_Assembly_district), [65th](/source/California's_65th_State_Assembly_district), and [66th](/source/California's_66th_State_Assembly_district) districts, thus regaining the two-thirds [supermajority](/source/Supermajority) that they had lost in the [previous elections](/source/California_State_Assembly_elections%2C_2014).
