Elections FAQ
How do I track my ballot once I've returned it?
When will we get results for California races?
How does KQED call the winner of an election?
How long will vote counting take?
It could take days or weeks for conclusive results in many closely-watched races.
We likely won’t even have a clear picture of how many ballots are left to count until Wednesday or Thursday this week. Even then, the number of uncounted ballots is just an estimate, as ballots postmarked before polls close can still be counted if they arrive before November 10. Officially, vote counting will continue until late November or early December as election officials work to resolve any issues with ballots cast before the deadline.
