California primary results: As polls close, the official count begins across the state

Ballot count was officially underway Tuesday night following the participation of millions of Californians in the June 2 primary. 

Early voting count will be released throughout Tuesday night into the following day. While official results take days to determine, some races — including gubernatorial nominees and L.A. County measures — might be called Tuesday night. 

California Secretary of State is Dr. Shirley N. Weber released a statement shortly before polls closed on Tuesday night, urging candidates and voters to be patient, as most official results are likely to come in 13 days after the election.

“On Election Night, we will have a good picture of the outcome of most contests, but it will take weeks to know the final results. This is normal,” Secretary Weber said. “Under the new state law AB 5 (Chapter 250, Statutes of 2025), county elections officials will report the results for most ballots by June 15, 13 days after the election. Some ballots will take counties up to 30 days to count every valid ballot and conduct a post-election audit. California elections officials prioritize the right to vote and election security over rushing the vote count. We have a process that by law ensures both voting rights and the integrity of elections, so I would call on all Californians to be patient.”
