Question on Senate elections on the ballot [View all]

There are two votes on the Senate...one for a full term and one to finish a term that became vacant. Do I vote for Alex Padilla for both? I don't know if he can only serve one of the other; for example, if I vote for the shorter term, that eliminates him for the full term. I don't recall ever seeing anything like this before. Why does he have to be elected for the partial term if Newsome has already appointed him to that?

Thanks.
