Voters in California's 14th Congressional District are casting ballots in a special primary election to fill the remainder of former U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell's term. Swalwell resigned in April following allegations of sexual assault, which he denies. The district, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, heavily favors Democrats. The special primary will determine the candidates who advance to a special general election on August 18. If any candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, they will win the seat outright.
