Unofficial election results for the 2024 General Election as of Friday, Nov. 8 at 5 p.m.

The close race for Santa Clarita City Council shows Patsy Ayala increasing her lead over Tim Burkhart by 201 votes at the close of business Friday, 3,828 to 3,627.

Coincidentally, in the race for the Santa Clarita Community College District Trustee Area 2 race Scott Schuer’s lead over board incumbent Edel Alonso has shrunk to 201 votes, 9960 to 9759.

More absentee ballots remain to be counted.

Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan announced the third post-Election Night ballot count update for the Nov. 5, 2024 General Election.

The update includes 200,080 ballots processed since Election Night. This update includes Vote by Mail ballots returned by mail, in a Ballot Drop Box and Vote Center, and Conditional Voter Registration ballots cast on Election Day.

The total election results count is now 3,083,816, which is 53.75% of registered voters. Election results can be viewed on LAVOTE.GOV.

A large number of Vote by Mail ballots were returned on Election Day. The RR/CC continues to prioritize the timely processing of these ballots to establish a clear number of outstanding ballots in this election.

The estimate of outstanding ballots to be processed is 759,100. See the categories below:

Vote by Mail ballots: 650,000

Conditional Voter Registration ballots: 97,000

Provisional ballots: 12,100

The estimate includes Vote by Mail ballots returned to the USPS and ballots returned in a Ballot Drop Box or Vote Center on Election Day.

The number of outstanding Vote by Mail ballots will increase as the RR/CC continues to accept ballots postmarked by Election Day and received through Tuesday, Nov. 12. These ballots are not included in the estimate.

Outstanding estimates are Countywide and are not currently available by jurisdiction as ballots are received and processed in batches throughout the county.
