Election Results Explained

• The first set of unofficial election night results will appear shortly after 8 p.m., June 7, 2022.  They will include mail ballots received before Election Day, and vote center ballots from early voting between       May 28 - June 6.  They will also include votes for qualified write-in candidates. 
• After the first unofficial report, election night updates will include vote center ballots cast on Election Day only. There will be no more updates to mail ballots and write-in candidates on election night.
• Once the vote centers close at 8 p.m. on election night, vote center ballots must be driven in from 218 vote centers across San Diego County.
• Periodic election night result updates will continue throughout the night until all vote center ballots are reported. It may take the Registrar's office until 1 a.m. or later to tabulate all vote center ballots for the final unofficial election night results.
• The next unofficial results update will be posted on the following schedule:
  • By 5 p.m., Thursday, June 9 through Friday, June 10
  • By 5 p.m., Monday/Wednesday/Friday June 13 through June 17
  • Additional updates may occur at the discretion of the Registrar of Voters.
• After election night, voter turnout percentage will increase as timely and validly cast ballots, including mail and provisional ballots, are added into the count.
• Mail ballots postmarked on Election Day and received by the Registrar’s office by June 14 will be considered timely cast.
• All results are unofficial until completion of the official canvass of the election on or before July 7, 2022.
