Bay Area election officials continued to process June 2 primary ballots Friday, leaving several high-stakes races hanging in the balance.

Each election cycle, it takes days, sometimes weeks, to tally every single vote in California. With some providing more frequent updates than others, Bay Area counties have made available schedules for the latest results.

In Alameda County, updated election results were set to be released at 4 p.m. Friday, at 4 p.m. on June 8, and again at 4 p.m. on June 12. As of Friday morning, the county has processed 167,794 ballots. There are an estimated 163,926 unprocessed ballots remaining, according to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters.

Santa Clara County has counted 257,017 ballots, with an estimated 116,500 ballots outstanding as of Friday, according to the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. The next update was scheduled for 5 p.m. on Friday, with additional updates expected next week.

San Mateo County was scheduled to update results at 4:30 p.m. Friday, with additional updates scheduled for June 8, June 10, June 12, and June 15. The county has processed 91,075 ballots, with an estimated 103,210 remaining, according to the San Mateo County Registrar of Voters.

Contra Costa County has processed 30,283 ballots, with 144,400 ballots unprocessed. The county was expected to release its next update at 5 p.m. Friday and continue to provide updates through next week, according to the Secretary of State.

Statewide, over 2 million ballots have been processed, with 3,606,128 ballots unprocessed, according to the Secretary of State.

Some ballots will take counties a month to process correctly, but a new state law will require county elections officials to report results within two weeks of the election, Secretary of State Shirley 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,” Weber said in a statement. “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.”
