In the race for Congress George Whitesides (D) has overtaken incumbent Mike Garcia (R) by nearly 7,000 votes. After publication of the latest vote tally Garcia has conceded the race and issued a statement congratulating Whitesides on his victory in California’s 27th Congressional District.

For the open seat in the first election by district for the Santa Clarita City Council Patsy Ayala has opened up a nearly 400 vote lead over Tim Burkhart who led the vote count on election night. Currently Ayala has 4,348 votes to Burkhart’s 3,967.

Currently, the tightest local race is between incumbent Santa Clarita Community College District Board of Trustees incumbent Edel Alonso with 11,110 votes to 10,926 for challenger Scott Schauer.

More absentee ballots remain to be counted.

Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) Dean C. Logan announced the sixth post-Election Night ballot count update for the November 5, 2024 General Election.

The update includes 144,182 ballots processed since Election Night. This update includes Vote by Mail ballots returned by mail, in a Ballot Drop Box and Vote Center, and Provisional and Conditional Voter Registration ballots cast on Election Day.

The total election results count is now 3,622,821, which is 63.15% of registered voters. Election results can be viewed on LAVOTE.GOV.

The next ballot count update will be on Tuesday, November 12. The full schedule of updates can be viewed on the Canvass Update Schedule.

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 187,300. See the categories below:

Vote by Mail ballots: 89,000

Conditional Voter Registration ballots: 87,000
