,<\/a>\u00a0which\u00a0seeks to speed up vote counting\u00a0for all statewide elections\u00a0in some capacity by requiring county elections officials to release the vote counts for\u00a0ballots by the 13th day after the election with the exception of certain specified types of ballots that require additional processing.<\/p>\n\u201cIn a state as\u00a0unique\u00a0as California\u00a0with\u00a0the largest population in the nation, this\u00a0has been\u00a0a tremendous undertaking, and I share my immense gratitude for the many\u00a0elections\u00a0officials,\u00a0and volunteers who have dedicated their time, energy, and heart to administering this election,\u201d said Weber.\u00a0\u201cTheir work is not\u00a0easy,\u00a0but they\u00a0do it out of a deep commitment to help voters exercise one of the most important civic duties in our democracy, and it\u00a0should never be\u00a0taken for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Certain ballot types that require additional processing, including provisional ballots, conditional voter registration ballots, signature cure ballots, ballots requiring duplication, ballots\u00a0forwarded\u00a0from other counties, and some late-arriving vote-by-mail ballots, are exempt from this deadline.<\/p>\n
County elections officials who cannot meet\u00a0today\u2019s\u00a0deadline\u00a0for reasons not outlined above\u00a0must file an extension with the Secretary of State and include the reason for the extension. The Secretary of State and the elections official shall post any extension filing on their respective websites. (Elec. Code, \u00a7 15307.)<\/p>\n
California county elections officials have 30 days from Election Day to process their remaining ballots.\u202fElection results will change throughout the canvass period as vote-by-mail ballots, provisional ballots, and other ballots are processed. The frequency of updated results will vary based on the size of each county and the process each county elections office uses to tally and report votes.<\/p>\n
County elections officials must report their\u00a0final results\u00a0to the Secretary of State by July 3, 2026. The Secretary of State will certify the results by July 10, 2026.<\/p>\n
