On Election Night — which this year is Tuesday, November 8, 2022 — the California Secretary of State will start releasing partial election results arriving from the state’s 58 counties at 8 p.m., which is when the polls close. They will be updated throughout the night.

With vote-by-mail and early in-person voting becoming more popular, the results are no longer 100% contingent on who shows up to the polls on Tuesday.

However, processing and counting ballots is a time-consuming and arduous task for county election officials — which means we can't necessarily depend on having final results until later in the week.

In the days after November 8, the Secretary of State will update the results at 5:00 p.m. each day throughout the canvass as counties count the remaining ballots.

Here's where you can find up-to-minute update on elections results, thanks to our partners at PBS NewsHour and Associated Press. Bookmark this page and return at 8 p.m. PST on Election Night to see how the races will be determined.
