Election Results Explained

NOTE: Some of the remaining outstanding ballots may be eligible for the “signature cure” process.

Before we certify an election, we must make sure every eligible vote is counted. For mail ballot envelopes returned with a missing or non-matching signature, voters are mailed a letter and given the opportunity to verify and provide their signature so their ballot can be counted. Once “cured”, the ballot can be removed from the envelope and processed into the count. Voters have until July 14 to cure these situations.

All election results are unofficial until completion of the official canvass and certification of the election on July 16.

ESTIMATED NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING BALLOTS TO BE PROCESSED:

Mail ballots received on or before Election Day 473
Mail ballots received after Election Day 58
Provisional Ballots 17
Conditional Voter Registration (CVR) Ballots 52
Vote Center Ballots None

Last Update: 07/03/2025

SUMMARY OF RESULTS REPORTING:

 

The first set of unofficial election night results will appear shortly after 8 p.m., July 1.  They will include mail ballots received before Election Day and vote center ballots from early voting between June 21 - June 30.

  • 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 on election night.
  • Once the vote centers close at 8 p.m. on election night, vote center ballots must be driven in from 13 vote centers located across the County's First Supervisorial District.
  • 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 10 p.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 6 p.m., Thursday, July 3.
    • Additional updates will 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 July 8 will be considered timely cast.
